Hi troops,
As stated in the other thread I have just posted about the cossie fuel problems.
I have discovered from the confused faces of each mechanic at the unit where my car is, that the regulator at the end of the rail isnt 'normal' practice.
On other cars, I was informed, the regulator is before the rail/injectors and uses a relay to open and close the reg as required.

Mine (rally cossie) has the pumps running fuel straight to the rear of the rail and then the reg at the front end, after the injectors, opens when the pressure rises past a certain point and returns the unsued fuel to the tank.

Firstly: Is this the correct way?
Secondly: what pressures are involved here?
I think I remember that the reg is set to open at 3 bar?
Also what pressure is the fuel pump/s putting out (mine are bosch 044 )

I was informed that the return to the tank should really just be spitting as the reg opens, but mine opens within seconds and stays that way with a heavy flow constantly returning to the tank.
Again, Is this correct?
