Ticking from the fuel setup

Somewhere there is a very loud ticking coming from my fuel system. I think it is my regulator. My pressure is 39 psi and doesn't stutter in sync with the ticking. Can anyone confirm what this is? Will post a video in a second once it uploads to YouTube.

Re: Ticking from the fuel setup

have you done any mods to the system?

after market fuel injectors can be known for being loud tickers,could be valvetrain noise aswell depending on your setup.

are you sure the noise is coming from the fuel system?

You can feel the pulsing in the regulator that is in sync with ticking. I just bought the car so I don't know if it was modded. The injectors are all plastic. My cousin thought the original ones were in metal casings.
