fuel regulator quick question

[EsperHamid]

Hey guys just a quick question:

does the fuel regulator has a gasket ?! did someone try to put a gasket for it ?!

Thanks

If I remember correctly, there is a rubber o-ring between the fuel rail and the regulator.

Just confirming what GhostAccord said. I just moved my fuel regulator to a JDM H22 fuel rail.

thanks, so if you smell a gas odor when you start your engine, could it be a bad regulator ?!
there are no leaks, I checked everywhere.

The fuel regulator just opens at a given fuel pressure, to let fuel into the fuel return line. If it doesn't open there will be too much fuel pressure, which will either cause a leak someplace else or will cause the fuel injectors to inject too much fuel.

Do you pump the gas when cranking it?
Check below the injectors for wetness after cranking.
Also, definitely pull the codes just in case

- No codes whatsoever.
- car start as soon as I turn the key no need for pumping gas
- checked the injectors no wetness

maybe it is my imagination.
