Both regulators from Autozone came from the same supplier, but the O'Reilly's was a different aftermarket brand. I agree with that recommendation of going where the people are.

Yeah, it's true, but the fuel pressure was strong in the normal when tested. It could be fading, but it didn't reveal itself in the test. When I did the regulator again, I changed the fuel filter because I hadn't in several years and I had that part of the system partly dismantled already, so it was as easy as it'll ever get. Now, if I could finish with this oil pan already I'd be stylin' in my 98 Civic inertia-gasoline, plug-in hybrid.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
