  Q: What are the crucial safety precautions and steps to follow when servicing the fuel rail on Ford Explorer Sport?

  A: Safety precautions must be followed when servicing the fuel rail because risky fires can occur during work involving fuel systems so smoking and open flames are completely prohibited. Prior to disconnecting fuel lines or components it is mandatory to release the pressure because the fuel system maintains high pressure while the engine is off to protect users from potential injuries. First disconnect the Intake Manifold followed by separating the fuel line and six fuel injector electrical connectors which should be noted to share similarity to the displayed connector. Switch to the next step where you should detach the fuel pulse damper vacuum hose after taking out the four bolts which secure the fuel line. Next remove both the fuel injection supply manifold and also the fuel injectors from the vehicle. Installation should start by following the removal process in reverse order yet use fuel-resistant special material O-ring seals instead of regular O-rings since normal O-rings may cause leakage and avoid reusing the seals. Engine oil should be used to lubricate novel O-ring seals while new fasteners should be applied during fuel line attachment.
