thats not the filter, that the fuel pressure regulator. If its leaking at a connection, tighten it up, and if the regulator is leaking, replace it.

thats not a pressure regulator either. That is a pulse dampner. It eliminated pressure pulses associated with the opening and closing of the injectors.

you could be right, I may be looking at the fuel rail backwards. Unless the purple piece is it, it looks more like it, because of the hose leading to the intake manifold. Because I know that some of the regulators are controlled by manifold vacuum.

all regulators are controlled my manifold vaccum/pressure. And that purple thing is the pressure regulator.
