Duratec 2.0 Fuel regulator location

I have a 2.0l duratec and there is no fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail. Does anyone know where the regulator is on this engine?

    I assume that this is a petrol engine.

    So how is the fuel pressure controlled then?

    The injector flow rate varies according to the fuel pressure.

    It is a petrol engine, but these are pretty basic and never made it into a tight emissions bracket.  Ford seemed to experiment with how many parts they could manage without.  A lot of these don't have a cam sensor, for example.  No MAF either.

    The rail is a 'dead end' with no regulator or return line. 

    As far as I understand, there is some sort of pressure regulation within the fuel pump/sender unit in the tank.  But bizarrely, most of these don't even have a fuel pressure sensor (located in the centre of the rail when fitted), so there's no way for the PCM to know whether the fuel pressure is there or not.
