Default fuel leak - failed pressure regulator

had a P174 yesterday followed by some weird STFT's and eventually got both 174/171. Car drove ok so figured I'd look at this weekend. This morning I backed out of garage to see a LARGE puddle with a trail following it - not good!! Got out and was met by the strong smell of gas - yep lost about 1/4 tank with gas spewing from the side of the fuel pressure regulator.


New one ordered and hope to have this afternoon or tomorrow morning.

make sure you use new o-rings with it if that came with one.

Tim - thanks - it said it is a kit that I ordered so for the price - I certainly hope new O-rings are part of that
