I did not see any indication of a leak on the regulator so I am guessing that it is just allowing more fuel that normal to return to the tank during operation. Do you think it is starting to fail or could it have been set up that way and may just keep on going. If you think it is a good idea to change it out based on those figures let me know and I will go ahead and replace it.

This site explains how the regulator works: http://www.picotech.com/auto/tutoria...actuators.html

It's a very simple design, and quite reliable. No need to replace yours, it's working fine.
