2000 Ford F-350 Super Duty Fuel Pressure Regulator Parts Q&A

• Q: What precautions should be taken when servicing the fuel pressure regulator on 2000 Ford F-350 Super Duty?

  A: Service operations on the fuel pressure regulator demand complete prevention of smoking and usage of lighted tobacco products or open flame sources because fuel system contents contain highly flammable mixtures that could ignite and result in personal injury. High pressure maintains its state throughout the fuel system during periods of engine idling so technicians must lower pressure before they detach any fuel-related parts or lines. First release fuel system pressure after which you should disconnect the battery ground cable. To continue proceed with the engine service you must remove the engine air cleaner and the air cleaner outlet tube and also the accelerator splash shield followed by the throttle body spacer. Users can disable the EGR vacuum regulator (EVR) through separate removal of its electrical connector and vacuum line. Proceed by removing all bolts of the bracket assembly before disconnecting the vacuum hose to remove the pressure regulator along with its snap ring. To finish the installation check for fuel leakages then follow the installation steps backwards starting from the pressure regulator to the accelerator splash shield. Engine oil must be used for lubricating new O-ring seals during installation.
