I've been looking for a FPR, one-way check valves as well, but no
decision yet.  It would be great to have a reasonably-priced unit that
worked well.

The pulse damper on the RX-8 fuel rail looks pretty cheap.  If the
diaphragm failed, it would leak fuel all over the engine, so I cut it
off the fuel rail.  I'm  considering whether to install a closed
aftermarket unit on the fuel rails or just leave it off.

At a relatively constant rpm, are the dampeners really necessary?

Scott,
I was thinking that by having a bypass, to allow pressure relief of the fuel
rail, when the engine ( fuel pumps) are shut off, might be all that is
necessary as a  pulse dampener. However I could be wrong about that - any
comments anyone?
