[Fot] FP Reg

[steve]

It should be noted that the car should be running while checking the fuel pressure.  
At one point, I connected my fuel-pressure gauge to the output of my FP regulator, ran the fuel pump (without starting the car) to see the pressure climb and climb.
In other words, it can't be checked properly in a closed-loop system.
