Mines just gone and ****ed up, and drained my car of half a tank of V Power inbetween 2 junctions on a motorway in my engine bay. Luckily nothing caught fire. ;!
Feel sick now from all the fumes and everything 
Warning to other members, always buy the best you can afford, dont settle for anything less, especially when it concerns your cars fuel system! 
Really regret not upgrading this to an Aeromotive earlier now!

The valve or a shoddy installation?

The valve itself. Can see the fuel flowing out off the seal.

To regulate the fuel pressure maybe?  Some cars need one to run correctly.

Unless you NEED to increase fuel pressure i.e. new injectors + custom mangement etc. why would you even want to replace the factory one?

I've had them on my last 2 cars (admittedly both cars came with them when bought) and I've not had any problems with them atall...
For one failing, its like anything really, things can, and do, break. Get over it.

The OE ones are normally up to the job and if you're in the small minority of people who need an aftermarket regulator then hopefully you'd know not to buy cheap tat.

Yes but if the car was standard you still wouldn't buy one. There shite and not worth the hassle of buying one only to have to end up buying a decent one further down the line.
