Well, it's fixed.
Sort of.
The part I bought from amazon was too large to fit in the fuel pressure regulator. (twss) However, it came with a pair of o-rings that seemed to fit ok, so I put those (actually just one) in there and jammed the old pastic clip in the FPR. So far, no leaks.
Runs good, might actually have a hint more power, or at least better fuel delivery, as at highway speeds I seem to be accelerating much faster without gearing down. Could be my imagination. But whatever, didn't catch on fire this morning so I'm calling it a win.
I think I'll go to the local Jeep dealer and see if I can get the correct new clip & o-rings, but for now, I guess this will do?
