Default Fuel pressure regulator

I could be in the running for thick question of the day award, but which side of the fuel rail does the fuel pressure regulator go on?

Inlet or outlet?

Ta much,

Spud

As above, regulate the return feed to the tank, so everything before it is under full pressure

The way the fuel pressure regulator works, is to restrict the flow after it, causing a buildup of pressure between it and the pump, so therefore the rail needs to be between it and the pump, so AFTER the rail, like mentioned above.
