2002 Ford F-350 Super Duty Fuel Pressure Regulator Parts Q&A

• Q: What precautions should be taken when servicing the fuel pressure regulator on 2002 Ford F-350 Super Duty?

  A: The fuel pressure regulator service requires strict avoidance of using tobacco with open flames since highly flammable mixtures present an ignition hazard leading to personal injury. Engine stoppage does not reduce the high pressure in the fuel system therefore users must first relieve system pressure before disconnecting fuel lines or components. You should start by releasing fuel system pressure before disconnecting the battery cable from its ground point. Start by taking off the engine air cleaner then disconnect the air cleaner outlet tube along with removing the throttle body spacer and the accelerator splash shield. The EGR Vacuum Regulator (EVR) requires detachment through removal of electrical connector along with its vacuum line. Follow this by removing the bolts and bracket assembly before performing the vacuum hose disconnect on the pressure regulator and extracting the regulator itself by removing its snap ring. The reverse order of removal steps should be used for installation while testing for fuel leaks following completion of the installation. For proper installation it is crucial to use engine oil when lubricating new O-ring seals.
