Introduction
A pressure regulator is a valve, or a control valve that decreases the pressure of input of a fluid to a desire value or pressure when coming out as an output. The latter can be used for both liquid and gases and is an important device with an output pressure setting, a sensor as well as a restrictor, all within on device but can also consist of different sensors, flow valves and controllers. No matter what kind of vehicle it is, there is always a pressure regulator that will be needed to regulate the pressure of the stored gas to another operating pressure output so as to meet all the operational and safety requirements. A pressure regulator is significant for recreational vehicles that have plumbing. For example, if someone is camping, the source of water supply may come with a huge pressure, especially if it comes from a tank that is elevated. Without a regulator, the output or outlet may burst out or unseat the plumbing joints and cause the vehicle to flood.
Now that you’ve gained some knowledge about what pressure regulators are as well as their different uses, it is time to get to the reviewing.

Pros and Cons
The pros of this fuel pressure regulator is that firstly it is made of aluminum allow meaning it is rust-proof as well as light and solid. The pressure can be regulated from 20-140 PSI which makes it pretty good in this line of product. The capacity of being able to hold up is 450 horse power as well as pressure is a big advantage in our books. The kit is also complete and no other fitting are required as they are all supplied. The best thing about it though is that it is universal fit, meaning it will fit on the majority of the vehicles out there.
The con that we found was that, it needs professional installation as installing by yourself may prove to be a disaster since instructions are not provided. We also found that they equipment tends to be fragile and cannot be handled by amateurs.

Pros and Cons
This regulator is extremely durable since it is made of high quality and strong material which happens to meet the OE standard. Every fitting is supplied meaning no excuses about not being able to fully install it. Also made of stainless steel as well and synthetic rubber, we can pretty much say that it is rust resistant. One of the best things about this regulator that sets it apart from other types of regulators is the amount of pressure it can sustain that is at a pressure of 300-800 hp. The liquid gauge also has a limit of 100 PSI which is pretty good when paired with the 300-400 hp.
The con we found was that most of the fittings are pretty fragile and if you aren’t a professional, it can break on your first use making the process useless since all the fittings depend on one another.

The diameter of the fuel line can be adjusted to meet your engines’ requirement. The brass fitting are also included so that the pressure does not break the hose. With this regulator is it possible to fine tune it to meet the engine needs as well as the injection system. As mentioned above the outlet fittings are from 5/16 inch to 3/8 inch meaning it is pretty sure to meet your engines outlet size. As a reminder it should also be said that this is not for fuel injection systems.
The cons that we found were that for a fuel regulator, it does not do the job pretty well as the PSI is pretty week of a maximum of 1-5. The quality of the product is also inconsistent and does not provide accurate readings when comparing. It is also possible to get faulty products sometimes.
