[Black95GT_Kid]

i recently put a bbk fuel pressure regulator on my mustang. it worked fine but i am now having a power problem under load. i tested and replaced numerous items. finally i vacuum tested the regulator and it will not hold pressure has anyone else had this problem with the bbk regulator. thank you for any feed back.

Ive heard a few stories of them leaking before. I run a Kirban it seems good although I do think I have a vaccume leak, how did you test yours?

I had the same problem with my BBK regulator years ago. I spoke with reps at BBK and was told that it's a fairly common problem with their product. I even asked them about rebuilding it and was told to look at another company for a regulator. I picked up a Professional Products regulator about 4 months ago and it's been flawless. Plus it was only $65. I have also read nothing but good things about Kirban regulators, though I have no personal experience with them.

Had issues with mine also

I had problems with my BBK regulator. It was initially set to 40 psi with no vacuum. It was OK for quite a while. This summer I noticed that the fuel pressure seemed a little low just driving around. After I checked it, it was only generating about 30 PSI with the vac off. Not good.
I am going to be replacing my entire fuel system this winter, and there will be no BBK parts allowed.

I had the BBK on my 87 mustang and it leaked fuel into the intake, so i ditched that and bought an aeromotive

Put the stocker back on and take the BBK and tear it apart. Probably a torn or unseated diaphragm. Kirban and Aeromotive are the schizzle. I am trying a Mallory right now, got too good of a deal to pass it up.

I went threw three BBKs and after getting my money back settled on a Kirban, it's been four months with zero troubles.
