Q: What precautions should be taken when servicing the fuel pressure regulator on Mercury Grand Marquis?
A: When servicing the fuel pressure regulator, avoid smoking or open flames near fuel components due to flammability. Relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting lines. Remove the upper intake manifold, disconnect the vacuum hose, and take out the regulator. Use new fuel-resistant O-rings for installation and lubricate injector pockets with clean engine oil.
