What started this problem was I had a fuel pump problem that the pump was running at full pressure and the regulator and gages were peged. I change the fuel pump and that was the main issue with the way to much pressure.Stuck relief valve. Question does the ball inside of the regulator seat against the fitting in main in port in the bottom of the regulator or against the inside tower part of the regulator? Its a 2 port BG tower style regulator. Yes I am running the motor when I am setting the pressure. If the MODS did their job I would not be hitting the notify MOD button. LOL

A BG400 pump puts out over 24 pounds in the rear and when my regulator went from 7 pounds to 24 during a run it almost washed the rings out. I lucked out and after a few passes the rings resealed.

The regulator is brand new and it cost $$$. I beleive you about the fuel spike because it happen to a race buddie of mine that put a 280 or bigger pump on his car and did the same thing that happened to you.He had a AREO?? regulator. If the MODS did their job I would not be hitting the notify MOD button. LOL

HE may suck but my problem is too much pressure I'm cheap and this is new and who will buy it because you guys say they suck and if I can't sell it I have to use it. If the MODS did their job I would not be hitting the notify MOD button. LOL

Bookmark this page if you think you may need parts to rebuild your regulator. There isn't much to them and when my BG400 needed rebuilt I bought the parts off him to do the job. Part kits were cheap so I bought a spare. http://www.product-engr.com/replacements.htm 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

There is actually a BG spec for minimun clearance. If I recall, they sold a special fitting for in that regulator. Nothing more than a shortened standard AN fitting. If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Does the ball seat in the regulator houseing or against the AN fitting? Thanks for the parts page. If the MODS did their job I would not be hitting the notify MOD button. LOL
