There is a fuel return line, but I don't know about a pressure regulator. I'll read up on the Haynes manual and see if there is any info on that. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On July 30, 2018 9:48:52 PM GMT+02:00, Randy Bennell via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: >What sort of fuel pump does it have? >Have you tested to see what the fuel pressure is? >Does it have any sort of fuel pressure regulator? > >RB > > >On 30/07/2018 2:11 PM, Max Dillon via Mercedes wrote: >> Working on a car with a carburetor, a single draft Weber, and the car >keeps flooding.
