1990 Bounder

I thought we used to have a "Vintage" section. It's been awhile. Anyway, on my 90 1/2 Bounder, I noticed a small puddle in the gravel after starting it up and letting it idle. I climbed under just behind the passenger side rear tires and saw that THIS (photo) was spitting out a constant stream of FUEL while the engine was running. It's mounted to a bracket right next to the fuel tank. There are a few hoses in the area, at least one (maybe two) connect to whatever this is.

I have a GM chassis with 454.

What is this part and where can I get one...fast, I hope.

Thanks!

Ed

Off hand it looks like a fuel pressure regulator. Do you have TBI?

Thank you for the reply.
While waiting, doing a Google search, I determined it IS a fuel pressure regulator. I don't know what "TBI" is. Nor do I know where I can get a regulator of this "vintage" quickly. We had planned to take the rig out this coming weekend.

TBI = throttle body fuel injection.

Autozone or NAPA probably have that fuel pressure regulator.

If you knew what the pressure was/is you can get a generic adjustable one from Holly or any auto parts store. Have you tried to tighten the screws on the cover? Maybe they are loose.

On this vintage motorhome Chevy used a electric fuel pump at the fuel tank. It was used to push fuel to keep from having a problem with vapor lock. This IS a pressure regulator to regulate the pressure from the pump.

Hi Guys! I'm sorry for not getting back here over the last 36 hours or so. Life got in the way. Yes, it is a carburetor on a 454. Have not eye-balled the electric pump yet, but I suspect it's behind a cover where fuel hoses are leading just behind the outer passenger wall behind the rear wheels, opposite the regulator mount adjacent to the fuel tank.

In any event, I removed it yesterday. Although it is possible that it just needed cleaning, I made a decision to get a new one. I'll keep the old one and see about cleaning, or maybe seeing if a kit is still available.

In the meantime, right or wrong, I ordered a Holley 12-803. This model is for a carbureated motor. By purchasing it thru Amazon online, I was able to receive it overnight. Got it delivered as I'm writing this.

It has a range of 4.5-9 psi. Just for reference, I put a call in to Holley and they indicated that I need about 5-6 psi for my particular motor/carb. Holley indicated that the regulator should be fine for that without adjustment.

I will install it within the next few days and report back.

Thanks for the replies.

For that year model P30 the electric pump was in the gas tank.

Chevy Motorhome Service Guide (page 7-49, pdf page 144) says regulator output pressure should be 4 1/2 to 5 psi.
