Anybody elses afpr click or make a tapping noise?

 

Did you listen to it with a screwdriver or other solid object?

 

i had the same problem when i had the replacement airco fuel pump in it, havent reinstalled it since replacing the pump with a walbro

 

Yeah with a long screw driver. I get great fuel pressure, and car runs awesome. Just was kinda wierd

 

Whats weird about a metal seat having another metal part making a noise when they smack each other ??
Thats how it works, fuel psi gets high, it opens, the PSI gets low, it'll close (making a tapping noise). Some springs are a lil stronger than others and make a louder tap whan they close.
Valves don't make the noise because they have a oil filled shock (lifter) to help dampen the hit.. the FPR doesn't

 

It makes since

 

I did forget about the pulsator thats in the tank. That is supposed to help soften the pulsing of the regulator. If it fails or is removed, the reg could get louder.

 

I removed mine when I put a new pump in.
