fuel pressure regulator for dell's

  1. I've probably got a few gaskets if it's a help? I normally only use one, as I'm fitting a pump blank!! :thumbsup:

    And yes, pump, reg, then carb...

    Pump and fuel lines will be fine :)

  4. Makes going back to stock tricky
     
  5. Same here. I've had the same carbs on 3 different engines in 3 different chassis with 3 cheapo £20 facet style pumps off eBay and never had an issue (aside from the one faulty pump I bought!!) the facet style are available in low pressure too. I forgot the other upside, you get an audible warning about 2 seconds before you run out of fuel too!!
    :)
     
  6. did you fit a cut off relay?
     
  7. keep the grindings....;)
     
  8. Yes
    :)
     
  9. what blanking plates ? I use stock pump on the 1700 . I`m mad busy making my VFR manifolds and refurbing split beetle boor handles :)
     
  10. I assume you havent had any pressure issues with the 1700?
     
  11. no none ..straight from the mech pump straight in to the dells
     
  12. when had the same problem i went to my local motorsports specialists and he recommended a pressure reg in his words he said don't waste your money on the deer filter/ reg which he kept both there, buy a cheap one. So i did one of the 25 quid silver ones with the turn dial. Van seems to run fine now.

  14. Nice one sounds good.:chewie::chewie:
     
  15. what did you fit?
     
  16. The dial type the same as rustydiver used, paid £23 off ebay
     
  17. I've got a type 1 engine with Twin Dellortos and am always amazed at how crap my fuel efficiency is.

    Could the solutions of a new pressure regulator hellp me or is this just for type 4 engine owners with dells?

    As you can tell i'm not technical!
