A Forum Member recently suggested that in checking out the FUEL
PRESSURE RELAY/REGULATOR, that if GAS is PRESENT in and around the
little inlet hose/tubing, then the FUEL PRESSURE RELAY is defected.
Well, it was wet and fuel dripped from both ends of the HOSE when
disconnected and the FUEL REGULATOR. Question: Is this part in fact defected?

There should be no fuel what so ever when you pull the vacum line, just replace the FPR. This is not a realy its controled by vacum and keeps your fuel presure at a controled level.

There is a diaphram in the FPR, yours has a hole or has ripped and is allowing fuel into the hose.
