I appreciate your point as I am a believer in the philosophy of if it ain't
broke, don't fix it. On the other hand, the fuel pressure regulation is key
to the successful operation of the engine. I don't like to factor in historic
reliability in my decisions as to what is important to monitor. If I did, why
bother reading oil pressure? Engines are running all over the world without
problems? How many times does an oil pump fail?
