Before you fit your budget eBay fuel regulator watch this ! Tearing apart a brand new fuel regulator

Poor man pays twice performance let’s check out what’s inside a budget fuel regulator. This one is PQY branded but any of the eBay regulators from Chinese suppliers can have this or other issues. From a performance point these regulators are great value and most of the time work as they should but it pays to check them out before fitting them to your budget build or cheap ass race car. Watch this video before ordering your eBay fuel pressure regulator. Is it worth pulling a brand new regulator apart ? Should you just bang it on and let it ride ? Maybe just spend the extra money on a high performance premium part ? Don’t forget to comment below your advice or experience with budget fuel pressure regulators. Thanks for watching and remember to leave me a like and subscribe if you enjoyed this video.

Check the vacuum line fitting as well. Mine was stuffed with foam packing. Thanks!

What part # is it? Will it adjust pressure down to 5 pounds for carb?

@lowluckgarage Жыл бұрын

Not sure how accurate it will be for that kind of psi. I have seen these used as dead head regs but that’s not there intended use. For carbs there is a Holley “style” three port regulator that I have used with a lot of success. It’s another one that gets rebranded but are all the same Chinese copy. Next time I set one up I will do a video as I also like to dissemble them and check for ball seating and check for debris. Thanks. Hope that’s useful information 😂

What thread sealant you use

@lowluckgarage Жыл бұрын

For most fuel fittings I use Permatex Aviation. A non hardening sealant.

If I buy one of these regulator, can I install a genuine aeromotive rebuild kit if the pqy starts to leak?

@lowluckgarage 7 ай бұрын

Not sure sorry mate haven’t had to rebuild a PQY. In the past if I have had any issue like incorrect model or defects I have just had them exchanged or a new one sent out.

Ok thank you sir I’m definitely trying one out !

Did it set psi correctly? Some of the reviews stated they had to cut coils off the spring. They said at its lowest setting it would be 90 psi.

I didn’t have that problem with this one although I have seen that happen before. It responded to adjustment. Both the spring and the adjustments screw can be an issue on some FPRs. Even with the dead head carby regulators from China I had found an issue where they had no adjustments and it was the ball not seating correctly in the body of the regulator. I guess it’s quality control and a little luck sometimes.

@lowluckgarage 7 ай бұрын

It’s been great so far and still going with no issues. I have it mounted in front of an 044 so it handled some high pressure. Thanks watching and commenting and have fun modifying.
