Please help!! Fuel pressure regulator leaking fuel big time
Took the car out tonight for a ride, after getting fuel I noticed a very strong fuel smell while I was driving down the road. I stopped to look things over and when I opened the hood I saw that the fpr was soaked with gas and the there was gas puddled on the intake manifold. It was leaking out of what appears to be an overflow stem. I couldn't get it to stop or slow down at all every time I would turn the accessories on and let the fuel pump prime it would just start pissing fuel. Any ideas as to what it could be? Maybe a broken diaphram? Or is it junk and needs replacing? I also noticed that it was reading 80 psi of fuel pressure. Does that sound right? Thanks guys for any help!!
