Where should the vacuum tube from the FPR (Fuel Preassure Regulator) go?
I guess somewhere to the intake, but can someone explain or send a Picture?

Guessing you have an Atom 3 Paros? I have a mk2 and my reg only has in, out and return but I have seen pics of the mk3 with a vac port unfortunately it didn't have a motor installed so doesn't help with where it goes. I suspect it's left disconnected i.e. uses ambient air pressure but call the factory if our buddies here can't help

Forgot to write, its a UK Ariel Atom 2 - 300.
I cant find a loose vacuum tube, but if understand you right, the fpr shall not have a vacuum tube connected on Atom 2 with supercharger?

I replaced all the fuel hoses on mine with braided over the winter (also a 2 300) and it didn't and still doesn't have a vac hose
