Steve,

If the system is working correctly, what sort of flow should I be seeing downstream of the FPR on my 300e?

I have just put on a new fuel pump, the distributor is a fairly new secondhand unit and the FPR is only a month or two old. Flow on the in and out sides of the distributor is a litre in 30s as per the book but the flow out of the FPR is much lower. Is this correct?

I'm still battling residual contamination from water in my fuel system due to a leaking carbon filter but that seems to be fixed now. I'm hoping I don't have to replace any more parts.

cheers
