2006 Ford Focus Fuel Rail Parts Q&A

• Q: What are the crucial safety precautions to follow when servicing the fuel rail on 2006 Ford Focus?

  A: The service of fuel rail demands strict safety measures because vapors that can burn quickly persist with fuel pressure remaining high after shutting down the engine thus making carelessness dangerous to your person. You should initiate work by detaching the fuel tube quick release coupling from the fuel rail before placing the tube safely to a distinct location. The service begins with disconnecting the battery cable and continues with disconnecting the four fuel injector electrical connectors and then proceeding to remove the fuel rail pressure and temperature sensor electrical connector and vacuum tube. The process requires removal of two bolts securing the fuel rail and injectors while you must tighten them to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) after installation. Special fuel-resistant O-ring seals are necessary for fittings since standard O-ring seals contribute to fuel leakages and the O-ring seals must be replaced every time. The procedure requires fuel injector retaining clips and fuel injectors removal for discarding old O-ring seals. Place new O-ring seals which received clean engine oil treatment before performing the removal in reverse order to reinstall the components.
