  Q: What precautions should be taken when servicing the fuel rail to ensure safety and proper procedure on Lincoln Blackwood?

  A: Service personnel must keep away all lighted items such as tobacco and open flames from fuel components because highly flammable mixtures present in the rail could result in personal injuries. When working with fuel lines and components always relieve the fuel system pressure before separation because fuel pressure remains elevated when the engine shuts off. You must start by reducing fuel pressure before taking out the upper intake manifold with proper fuel line plugging procedures for leak prevention. Start by removing fuel lines and disconnecting and labeling the fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose as well as eight Fuel Injector electrical connectors on one side first because the other side has similar connections. You must detach the fuel injection supply manifold together with attached fuel injectors after removing its bolts. Visual examination of fuel injectors begins by taking them out from the fuel injection supply manifold then inspecting their O-ring seals before installing new O-ring seals when needed. While restoring the system follow the reverse steps of removal while using clean engine oil to lubricate and install the new O-rings.
