ok guys i been threw 3 freekn holley fuel pressure regulators that summit sells. they will NOT seal at all. ive used teflon paste and tape. the leak on all the ports in the regulator. i got a dual feed one and it sucks. anybody know how to fix it or should i get a new one?

 

Thats odd. I probably use the same one you have and have had no trouble with it. For starters keep in mind you dont want to use teflon tape because gas eats it. Second the regulator is designed with pipe treads (i think 3/8 NPT?) are you sure your using the correct adapters?

 

go figure the whole stupid *** problem was the fittings. the had chrome on the threads which wasnt allowing it to seal. i sandblasted cleaned and put on. no more leak. odd

 

Chrome never seals. Chrome timing covers and oil pans, for example...

 

Where did you hear gas eats Teflon tape?

It doesn't.

 

i havent heard that eihter. anybody kno how to quiet down an electric inline pump> its insanely loud

 

How do you have the pump mounted?

 

i hveit mounted below the tank on the rear seat area of the outside, i have rubber washers in between but its stil loud

 

I could be mistaken but i believe i remeber reading it in one of hollys instructions that came with a fuel line kit. Its been a while ill have to check again but im pretty sure the spelled out specifically no teflon tape on fuel fittings. Now i know theres a yellow vertion of teflon tape specifically designed for gasoline applications and the teflon paste is ok but my understanding is regular white teflon tape is a big no no for applications where it will come in contact with gas.

 

witch pump are you running the old style 110 and 140 pumps (red or blue ) were always loud

 

i have the summit brand pump. i think its a trickflow pump
