ADJUSTABLE FUEL PRESSURE

REGULATOR

When the engine is idling low the

fuel flow used compared to full
power is only approx 15%.
Therefore most of the fuel that is
sent by the pump will be returned to
the fuel tank. When the engine is
tuned the optimum efficiency can be
obtained with the optimum mixture
of A/F ratio. When the fuel pump is
too large and the regulator is not
strong enough to handle the excess
fuel that it is receiving it will then not
be able to regulate the flow to allow
the fuel to return to the tank. This
will cause the fuel pressure to be
too high and too much fuel to be
pumped into the engine which will
lead to over enrichment and poor
fuel efficiency and a variety of
problems will occur.
* When the fuel pressure changes from
0.5kgf/cm2 it greatly affects the settings
due to the A/F difference will change from
0.5 or more.
 When the adjustable fuel pressure regulator is
set to optimize the injectors the best fuel
consumption and burn ratio can be achieved.

* Low Fuel Inefficient Fuel Supply. Poor Fuel

Pressure Consumption.

* High Fuel * Operational Problems e.g.

Pressure Solenoid Failing to Close.

The optimum fuel pressure is then maintained

and controlled by the change in pressures from
the intake manifold.

The balance of pressure inside the regulator (Pf+Pm=F/S) maintains the fuel pressure
from when the valve opens by the pressure in the intake manifold.
