High fuel pressure

so I just installed a new return fuel line to my ams fuel rail cuz it was leaking after I installed I saw my fuel pressure regulator gauge was excessive high now and a lot of white smoke coming out the exhaust
so what can be causing this? And how to fix this problem?

What fuel pump and wiring are you running? What is your base pressure, and did you adjust the regulator?

White smoke is coolant though, so I wonder if that is another issue as to why you're burning coolant...

Nope - I would wager it is crimped and that white smoke may be (unburned) fuel...


Check your install again.

I agree with the smoke possibly being fuel, when it doesn't fully burn and a lot is being dumped it in fact it blows white ish smoke.

Make sure there isn't a bend somewere in the line.

Im guessing the car runs like crap now?
