This SAE Recommended Practice promotes uniformity in the evaluation and qualification tests conducted on fuel pressure regulators and pressure dampers used in gasoline engine applications. Its scope is limited to fuel pressure regulators and dampers used in automotive port and throttle body fuel injection systems where fuel supply pressure is below 1000 kPa. It is further restricted to bench type tests. More specifically, this document is intended for use as a guide to the following:
