Cool thanks. Do you think the FPR heating up is due to radiant heat from the engine components or from the fuel heating up (or both)? I ask because I have touched my IE fuel rails after normal driving and they will burn my hand. I would image the fuel is heating up due to some heat transfer here (heads>IM>fuel rails>fuel) and in turn heating your FPR. I would think a quality FPR would take heating of the fuel into account when the product was being designed.
It could be either, the problem is different materials used for casing and spring with their different rate of expansion due to heat. It is what it is. With smaller orifice (and higher backpressure/less flow) I am actually very fuel stable now.
