2009 Ford Ranger Fuel Rail Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What safety precautions should be taken when servicing the fuel rail on 2009 Ford Ranger?

  A: As maintenance starts on the fuel rail employees must keep away from smoking or carrying burning tobacco products in addition to excluding all flame sources from fuel-related components because volatile mixtures found in these areas easily create fire hazards that cause serious burn injuries. Users need to refrain from using their personal electronic devices including cell phones and pagers and audio equipment while present in these areas. A safe working practice requires disconnecting the battery ground cable before starting work on the evaporative emission (EVAP) system along with any fuel-related components. First disconnect the battery ground cable followed by releasing fuel pressure and then detach the four fuel injector electrical connectors. You should start by removing the pushpins fastening the wiring harness to the fuel rail while placing the wiring harness aside. First remove the fuel supply tube spring lock coupling then detach both bolts that hold the fuel rail and injector assembly while ensuring their removal as a combined unit. Following removal of the components take off all retaining clips and separate the fuel injectors from the fuel rail for disposal of old fuel injector O-ring seals. New fuel-resistant O-ring seals should be obtained since regular O-rings can create leaks while they cannot be reused. Engine oil must be used to lubricate new O-ring seals just before their installation. The final stage involves both reassembling the fuel injectors according to their original positions followed by a proper installation of new O-ring seals before tightening their assembly to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).
