I have 1JZ on a sinlge and I just bought this SARD fuel regulator and I went to install it and leaks by sending line to the unit. I tired both type os teflon and still leaks, now I am running a Walbro 400lph pump but I just don't get it why it leaks, I don't think it's leaking from the hose it's hard to tell I tighten the crap out of the hose. Need help

check the aluminum hose-adapter and the SARD regulator-housing for cracks.... one of them will crack if you overtighten the hose-adapters.

Aluminum is a very fragile material if you dont treat it right.

Also....use good quality std teflon tape from a plumber, minimum 5-6 rounds of tape.

If it were anywhere but Florida that this were happening, I would think it to be common sense, but you should NOT drive the car until this is figured out. Might be a good idea to keep a fire extinguisher handy too. ;)

Lol ,yea I had the garden hose handy but Im going to get a Aeromotive regulator. I should of done that from the begining.I read up on other forums of the problems they bring and are not recomended for any single turbo setup becuase they are prone to loose pressure in high spots.
