Just been googling I don't know if this is any help at all.

If you want to confirm that it is really your fuel pressure regulator that is gone here is how to check it. Remove the vacuum hose that attaches to the fuel pressure regulator, making sure that the engine is turned off. If gas is in the line, it is bad. If there is none in the line, but when you turn the switch to on, fuel drips out of the hose than it is bad.

I hope you can sort it simply when you have a fresh mind in the morning.

The other thing to try is loosen the nut on the outlet of the fuel filter, turn on ignition and if you get a fountain, there's no blockage up to that point and the pump is working.
