Abstract
A housing for a fuel pressure regulator includes a body having a fuel inlet, a fuel outlet, a plurality of retention members, a bypass fitting, and preferably an electrical fitting and a ground fitting. Each retention member includes a catch that is constructed to engage and securely hold the fuel pressure regulator in the housing, while the fuel inlet, the fuel outlet and the bypass passage permit fuel routing as pressurized fuel passes through the fuel pressure regulator. The regulator housing preferably is made of an electrostatic charge dissipative material and is formed in one piece using a single manufacturing process such as injection molding.
