Hi Glen, If you suspect low fuel pressure, here's the info I have. A pressure regulator which regulates the pressure output of the pump to 3.5 bar is located in the pump housing. If the pressure exceeds this setting the regulator relieves excess pressure back to the swirl pot. This ensures the fuel rail and injectors are supplied with a constant pressure. Also I have had in the past: lift fuel pump out of tank and drop the swirl pot off the pump, three clips, there you will see a fine gauze filter, this is a servicable item and I have seen this block on more than one occasion, replace if dirty. But everyone of then has suffered from poor on road performance. Regards, Nige
