    Brass and metal and solder. Melts when hot enough on the pressure side of the pump.

    Mind you that will be with flames licking round the gauge in which case the fuel hose will be going crispy too.

    okay okay it's coming off lol. I will set the pressure to 3.5 tomorrow then its off with it.

    So i just run the engine for a bit, then set the pressure, then turn off, wait a tick then remove and replace with brass plug. PTFE or no?
     
  3. Mines set to 2.7 ish on ict carbs it's the bigger 85 MM, it's bolted to the spair wheel well with a bit of rubber to stop vibration or that's the idea anyway.
    I was spectical on the ptfe tape but it's in the instructions

    Bin it and stick a standard filter on it. Why over complicate things?

    Everyone recommended it, i need it to regulate the pressure, and it cost me 60 quid. So i can hardly happily bin it. It needs fixing.

    Send it back and get a standard fuel regulator.

    i used a torx drill bit and stamped the end of the lead plug. Looks like it has solved it. Bit of advice from a friend that it might work. Im glad it has.

    Quality bit of kit if it leaks straight from the box!?

    Yes but you can't exactly where, I thought it might be the plug you replaced the gauge with. Cross posted too.

    That is pretty poor leaking from new.

    It's probably becoming hard to believe, but you will get to the point where it's routine service only for 20-30,000 miles or more. Keep going. :thumbsup:
