To regulate fuel pressure

On a serious note...to regulate fuel pressure You manually adjust fuel pressure per whatever it is you're doing calls for. Their is no dissadvantage.

you got 4bar now, you can crush the bugger to 5-6 bar if you use a jig and a air tank and small socket. do the math

p.s. 1bar =14.5psi
