Default Multiple Fuel Pressure Regulator Failures

I have an 85 Vette that has had fuel pressure regulators fail annually. Most recently the fuel pressure was reset to the appropriate level in the hope of fixing this frustrating and expensive repair. No other obvious problems have been detected. Has anyone else experienced this annoying problem?

The basic cause of the fuel pressure regulators to fail was due to the deterioration of the gasket.

Are you adding a fuel additive during the year? That can cause some problems. Change to a different brand of gas. Just a couple of thoughts.
