RE: [T3] Fuel pressure regulator for BN2 EberspScher gas heater


Hello All,

I had a chance to remove the Fuel Pressure Regulator for the Heater and
disassemble it. After disassembly the hardened diaphragms were definitely
confirmed. I am really interested in the idea of replacing the hardened
material, but I don't think it is as easy as it sounds. The diaphragms seem
to have a molded shape to them to allow for motion, I don't know how I could
duplicate that. The metal centers on the diaphragms are also confirmed. I
think with a little work, I could probably remove the metal centers and
transfer to new material, but one of the centers has an orange neoprene seat
that seem to have a wear mark pressed into it, I don't think it would seal
properly, but I could be wrong.

Russ, I know you said you have done this work before, I was wondering if the
fuel pressure regulator was the same?
Anyone's comments would be greatly appreciated.
Should I try to find a repair kit (probably non existent)? Do you think the
diaphragm material would have enough flex to allow for the axial movement?

I have attached a link to the disassembled Fuel Pressure Regulator (pictures
explain it all)
