2001 Ford F-350 Super Duty Fuel Pressure Regulator Parts Q&A

• Q: What precautions should be taken when servicing the fuel pressure regulator on 2001 Ford F-350 Super Duty?

  A: The presence of highly flammable mixtures in fuel-related components requires prohibiting both smoking and carrying open flames or lighted tobacco near fuel system components because this exposure risks personal injury from ignition. Maintaining high pressure throughout the fuel system after engine shutoff prompts the need to decrease system pressure before beginning fuel component disconnections. Start by lowering pressure from the fuel system before disconnecting the grounding cable of the battery. You should begin by taking off the engine air cleaner and then remove the air cleaner outlet tube together with the accelerator splash shield along with the throttle body spacer. You should disconnect the EGR Vacuum Regulator (EVR) by removing both the electrical connector and vacuum line. To reach the pressure regulator a person should first take off the bracket assembly along with its bolts. First disconnect the vacuum hose before you take out both the snap ring and finally the pressure regulator. The installation process should begin with step reversal but fuel leak tests should take place before finishing the installation. Engine oil must be used to lubricate all new O-ring seals in addition to proper installation.
