Pressure Relief Regulator Valve

The pressure relief regulator valve replaces the typical fuel pressure regulator used on a mechanical returnless fuel system. The pressure relief regulator valve is closed during normal vehicle operation. The pressure relief regulator vale is used to vent pressure during hot soaks and also functions as a fuel pressure regulator in the event of the fuel pump flow control module defaulting to 100 % pulse width modulation (PWM) of the fuel pump. Due to variation in fuel system pressures, the opening pressure for the pressure relief regulator vale is set higher than the pressure that is used on a mechanical returnless fuel system pressure regulator.
