Default Need recommenation for non-bleeding FPR
I'm running a couple in-tank pumps and the bleed-down is killing me with the Aeromotive FPR. The pumps prime just fine, then shut off, and 1 second later it's down to about 10psi. I verified it's the regulator doing it, and I don't trust it at all now during normal conditions. Can anyone recommend a boost-referenced replacement that doesn't bleed down instantly? I know all the brands out there - Weldon, SX, Magnafuel, etc, but I can't seem to find any info about what regulators don't have this problem.

Can you describe how you tested the regulator to determine it's the culprit??

I watched it trickle right out of the return port after I removed power from the pump I was testing with.
