I don't know if the red blocks got a fuel damper. According to Bentley's Bosch FI book the damper is supposed to prevent a failed pressure regulator from dumping fuel into the intake manifold... but I didn't see one on my friend's B230FT.

So yes, a failed FPR where the diaphragm is ruptured would allow fuel to be dumped right into the intake manifold at about 30 gallons per hour thru that vacuum line. Supposedly they can fail in a manner that would block off the return line and exert strain on the fuel pump... I imagine anywhere in between is possible as well.

I'd just buy a new Bosch one from FCP Groton. $40 and less.
