A pressure regulation valve is disclosed which comprises a housing including first and second ports, a support for slidably supporting a tubular member defining a valve seat against which a valve element is engageable. The tubular member and valve element are spring biased into engagement with one another. In use, the application of pressurized fuel to the first port pushes the tubular member against the stop, the valve element being able to leave the valve seat in order to permit fuel flow through the valve. If the second port is at a higher pressure than the first port, the valve element moves into engagement with the valve seat, the application of a high pressure resulting in the valve element and tubular member moving until the valve element engages the support, further movement of the tubular member permitting fuel flow through the valve from the second port to the first port.

[ I claim:] [1.] A fuel system pressure regulation valve for use in controlling the fuel pressure within a fuel supply line, the valve comprising a housing having first and second ports, a valve element moveable within the housing and biased into engagement with a moveable seating member to restrict the flow of fuel from the second port to the first port, the valve element being moveable away from the seating member upon the application of high pressure fuel to the first port to permit fuel to flow from the first port to the second port, and means for separating the valve element from the seating member in order to permit the flow of fuel from the second port to the first port upon the fuel pressure at the second port exceeding that at the first port by more than a predetermined pressure difference.
