After searching and some minutes of long hard thinking, I'm here with a question that hopefully someone can answer.
I'm running an aero FPR, the basic black one. It's got a 6 an plug, 6 AN line from the rail, a fuel pressure gauge (with all the liquid leaked out), and stock return.
The vac line from the IM to the FPR has 2 Ts in it. One for the boost gauge, and one for the EBC. The FPR is not mounted, nor has it ever been. It's been laid down on it's side exactly where the stock FPR sat.
My boost gauge started acting up and eventually shit the bed the other day, and upon closer inspection, it was due to fuel in the vac line. I checked my EBC's boost source vac line to find the filter was full of fuel and half melted/gooey. Luckily the boost controller is fine. It's a pro fec B (not cheap) so obv I want to prevent ruining it too.
Anyone had this problem before? It doesn't seem to be because the FPR is on it's side since it's been that way for a year with no issues until recently. My fuel pressure was fluctuating rapidly by 5-7 psi at idle a few weeks ago, so I pulled it and took it apart to find everything in good condition.
Well, after I pulled the T off for the boost gauge, since it doesn't work, the fuel pressure is much more stable. The filter in the vac line going to the EBC is completely shot. It's melted and isn't allowing air through.
I am trying to get any clue as to why my FPR is leaking fuel into the vac line... Anyone had this issue?
All mods in profile are recent. Base fuel pressure has been checked and triple checked and is stable at 43 psi.
Anyone have a chart or descriptive order of how these FPRs go together? Maybe I didn't put it back together right last time.
