• Q: How to Safely Service and Install a Fuel Pressure Sensor on 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

  A: Safety should be ensured before servicing the fuel rail pressure and temperature sensor especially around fuel components because they contain highly flammable mixtures. Before starting fuel component removal or tube detachment the fuel system pressure needs relief since high pressure persists after engine shutdown. To initiate repair begin by discharging fuel system pressure followed by removing the intake. The fuel rail pressure and temperature sensor requires detachment of its electrical along with vacuum connections before bolt removal. The new sensor should be tightened to 6 Nm (53 lb-in) torque value whereas the O-ring seal must be replaced by a special fuel-resistant version because regular O-rings can cause system leaks. The old O-ring seal should never be reused in this process. Before reinstalling these parts apply engine oil to the new O-ring seal and follow the removal process backwards.
