Seeing fuel and oil around fuel pressure regulator

[Hugomartin]

Should I just buy a new on? I get intermittent stalling once in a while and tried to tighten down the torx screws but still wet around there

Looks like it's leaking at the housing seal, which iirc, is the regulator diaphragm itself.

What is “iirc”. Thanks for the reply could barely get out the driveway can I just buy a new diaphragm or do I purchase the whole regulator thanks!

If I Remember Correctly= iirc

I guess it’s bad if it’s leaking where the spring and the cylinder that sorrounds it gonna buy the kit I reckon

Some weirdness in this cavity looks like weld beads in in the cavity is that my problem or is that carbon build up it doesn’t scrape off easy

 

[Hugomartin]

Maybe I just need to replace this stupid little washer it’s slightly warped

Wow, that looks pretty nasty. Have you replaced the inline fuel filter yet?

The regulator is a well known point of failure on the TBI, but it could have been jammed up with whatever that junk is. I would maybe think of replacing with a high quality adjustable regulator like the Jet one on Summit and also replace your inline fuel filter.

Are u saying it’s just the gasket?

 

[Bextreme04]

and yes... that' all bad. If you don't want to drop the ~$100 on an adjustable regulator, you can buy a rebuild kit for about $25 at any parts store and it has all of those gaskets and diaphrams in it. Make sure you clean the hell out of all of that before replacing the seals and gaskets, and also check and/or replace your fuel filter.

It look like welding spots for the screw

Yes already replaced fuel filter

Should that weld be sealed shut in the middle of the four torx heads it looks like a half assed planned obscelesesnce.

The second picture I point out to the “window” now if

 

[Hugomartin]

Should I put something to fill this in completely
