R33 Gtr In Tank Regulator Remove Or Not?

[leeroy_25]

I Just upgrade my in tank pump on my R33 GTR.. When I was doing it I noticed there is some kind of regulator in line inside the tank? Should I remove this regulator or is it fine to stay? I am currently running the standard external FPR if that makes any difference. That said I may need an upgrade!

Thank you

Keep it there.

its the one way valve.

REmove it and you will have a little bit of trouble starting the car.

Where can I get one of these? I put a bosch 040 in my car, and now i need to prime the pump in the morning before starting the car as the pump obviously didn't come with a valve

I removed it from a setup once.. Not knowing what it was lol.

Car has run fine every since

epic fail by all

its not a regulator or a one way valve

leave it there

ps an 040 has a one way valve biult into it so thats not your problem

I see.. Someone else told me it was a pulse dampner? I thought that was more likely the bit on the OEM pump itself?

So in fact I could take the one way valve out of the Bosch pump if I leave this inline one there?? I presume that might give a little extra flow from the pump? Or is it not worth it?? I actually think the pump is not the issue now but preparing myself with all the options just incase!

Thank you for your answers

Why on earth would you open the fuel pump? The thing in the fuel tank looks identical to the unit on the return fuel line in the engine bay and if so, it is a dampner. My old skyline ran without one in the fuel tank and it ran just fine. Ive got one now because I'm using a GTR pump. Didn't make any difference. If its there, leave it there. The fuel pump will pump the fuel, your regulator will hold the pressure. Its a simple system. So long your lines aren't run dry every time you turn the car off, you'll be fine starting it up.

Not sure exactly what we're talking about, but isn't it a check valve that keeps fuel pressurized so the instant the engine is cranked there is fuel versus not having it and having to crank for abit longer?
