G'day everyone, I'm slowly replacing parts in my car that may improve my fuel economy in my 99 AU Lane... next is my fuel regulator.. I purchased one online but have no idea where to install it... I know that I have to de-pressurise the fuel system and I know that it must be located on/near the fuel rail but not sure where it is.. can someone please post some pics?

There's a circlip that holds it in the rail housing. You need to remove the circlip then wrestle it out, which is difficult to do because the o-rings are tight... my regulator has vicegrip marks in it from doing this. Easier to just remove the whole fuel rail, then swap the regulators over in comfort. 4 bolts, fuel lines unclip under the car, remove intake tubing, throttle body and cable, a couple of hoses then pull the rail out.
