Default V1 fuel pressure regulator where is it???

Ive heard some say its in the tank and some say its integrated into the fuel filter???

going 1:1 brfpr and full return and need to know if just changing to a normal fuel filter will effectively disable the factory regulator assuming that its part of the single inlet/dual outlet style stock fuel filter?

or is the actual regulator in the tank?


thanks in advance!!!!

It's in the tank, hung off the fuel pump module in the tank. The V1 does NOT use the regulated filter. Search for a pic and you'll see how our system flows. I would hold tight for a bit, I believe Squash has something in development for us V1 guys.

Regulator is on the return line part of the bucket.
partial regulation sends a tiny stream to open the flap in the bucket.
Held in with a C-clamp.

I beleive me and you talked about this, since then I have spoke with a couple people telling me its actually in the fuel filter lol so i got confused.

thanks for the pic very helpful!

my brfpr is on the way and I'm about to go out and look at the car and make a list of fittings i will need for the conversion.

and as far as disabling that regulator, does the regulator have an outlet line going into the pump bucket or is it just a deadhead with the return line going into the reg and nothing coming out?

trying to understand more how this thing works so i can come up with a solution to disabling it. And I dont feel like tearing back into my pump assembly to do so, It would be nice if i could have something figured out before i get back in there.

vmapper I see what your saying now about possibly "gutting" the reg. maybe take the actual regulator out of the regulator housing and make some sort of little block off plate that can be held in with the c clamp so that the regulator housing is hollow?
