Fuel pressure regulator? Fuel level

My fuel guage is often wrong and this is a sure thing not just assuming. I also have an intermittent starting issue where the car would die right after a startup but then startup fine.

is there a fuel pressure regulator on a c43 and where would it ve. Would this be a cause of such symptoms?

I read somewhere that it would but I wanted to see if anyone here had experience with this. Thanks

Don't know about a regulator, but have you ever changed your fuel filter?

Fuel regulator is apart of fuel filter, (it's attached to it, like a mushroom head)..

I put a brand new fuel filter in a while back. It still has less miles on it vs the old one I took off. Could it be bad already?

I dont remember the mileage on it. Could a fuel pump cause this too?

maybe we should let my former mechanic buddy take a good look @ your fuel pump?
he's got a thing for fuel pumps
I'll bet he'll give ya a dizhonest opinion if it's good?

I have the same problem with the car starting and then dying and then starting right up like there is no problem. It is intermittent and infrequent so I haven't really tried to determine the cause.
