Abstract
A fuel regulator for controlling one or more carburetors and having a return to the fuel tank arrangement. The invention comprises a unique arrangement of an hourglass shaped plunger that permits virtually unrestircted flow through the body of the regulator from the inlet to the one or more ports which lead to the single or multiple carburetors. A method of operation wherein the return fuel flow is never completely shut off is provided during normal operation. This provides the advantages of reduced demands on the manufacture of the return line seat, and always permits at least some flow through the return line during the normal operation. Thus, a highly efficient, high volume, low pressure regulator for carburetted, high performance engines is provided.
