A fuel pressure regulator comprising: a housing defining a fuel inlet and a fuel outlet, wherein said housing comprises: an inner housing defined by an annular inner housing sidewall and by an inner housing end wall extending radially inward from one end of said inner housing sidewall such that said inner housing end wall defines said valve seat and such that said inner housing sidewall is coaxial with said valve seat; and an outer housing defined by an annular outer housing sidewall and by an outer housing end wall extending radially inward from one end of said outer housing sidewall such that said outer housing defines said fuel outlet and said outer housing sidewall is coaxial with said inner housing sidewall; a valve seat located between said fuel inlet and said fuel outlet, said valve seat being centered about a valve seat axis; a valve member centered about a valve member axis, said valve member being moveable between 1) a closed position where said valve member engages said valve seat to prevent fuel flow from said fuel inlet to said fuel outlet and 2) an open position where said valve member is disengaged from said valve seat to permit fuel flow from said fuel inlet to said fuel outlet, wherein the valve member is located between the inner housing end wall and the outer housing end wall, and a grounding member grounded to said housing which engages said valve member to cause said valve member axis to tip relative to said valve seat axis when said valve member moves from said closed position to said open position, characterized in that the valve member includes a grounding flange extending in a direction radially outward from the valve member axis, wherein a portion of the grounding flange is captured between the grounding member and the inner housing end wall, wherein said grounding member comprises: an annular grounding member base fixed within said inner housing sidewall; and a grounding member arm which extends radially inward from said grounding member base such that said grounding flange is captured between said grounding member arm and said inner housing end wall. a housing defining a fuel inlet and a fuel outlet, wherein said housing comprises: an inner housing defined by an annular inner housing sidewall and by an inner housing end wall extending radially inward from one end of said inner housing sidewall such that said inner housing end wall defines said valve seat and such that said inner housing sidewall is coaxial with said valve seat; and an outer housing defined by an annular outer housing sidewall and by an outer housing end wall extending radially inward from one end of said outer housing sidewall such that said outer housing defines said fuel outlet and said outer housing sidewall is coaxial with said inner housing sidewall; an inner housing defined by an annular inner housing sidewall and by an inner housing end wall extending radially inward from one end of said inner housing sidewall such that said inner housing end wall defines said valve seat and such that said inner housing sidewall is coaxial with said valve seat; and an outer housing defined by an annular outer housing sidewall and by an outer housing end wall extending radially inward from one end of said outer housing sidewall such that said outer housing defines said fuel outlet and said outer housing sidewall is coaxial with said inner housing sidewall; a valve seat located between said fuel inlet and said fuel outlet, said valve seat being centered about a valve seat axis; a valve member centered about a valve member axis, said valve member being moveable between 1) a closed position where said valve member engages said valve seat to prevent fuel flow from said fuel inlet to said fuel outlet and 2) an open position where said valve member is disengaged from said valve seat to permit fuel flow from said fuel inlet to said fuel outlet, wherein the valve member is located between the inner housing end wall and the outer housing end wall, and a grounding member grounded to said housing which engages said valve member to cause said valve member axis to tip relative to said valve seat axis when said valve member moves from said closed position to said open position, characterized in that the valve member includes a grounding flange extending in a direction radially outward from the valve member axis, wherein a portion of the grounding flange is captured between the grounding member and the inner housing end wall, an annular grounding member base fixed within said inner housing sidewall; and a grounding member arm which extends radially inward from said grounding member base such that said grounding flange is captured between said grounding member arm and said inner housing end wall.
