How to service and repair the fuel pressure regulator on Mercury Cougar?

The first step for servicing and repairing the fuel pressure regulator starts with safety precautions since dangerous vapors are present therefore smoking and open flames should be avoided. First step involves emptying fuel system pressure. First disconnect the fuel return hose spring lock coupling plus its vacuum hose attached to the fuel pressure regulator. The fuel pressure regulator along with its pipe assembly needs to be taken out. Rephrase the regulator installation by using a fresh O-ring seal for the pressure regulator and lubricate it with XO-10W30-QSP or DSP or Ford WSSM2C-153-H-approved oil equivalent. Re-installation of the system requires the direct opposite procedures of removal steps.

What precautions should be taken when servicing the fuel pressure regulator on Mercury Grand Marquis?

The fuel pressure regulator requires servicing under conditions free from smoking and both open flames and lighted tobacco because highly flammable mixtures at the components create risk for personal injury. The system maintains high pressure on fuel when the engine shuts down thus technicians need to reduce this pressure before disconnecting fuel components to protect themselves. Start by easing the fuel pressure followed by separation of the upper intake manifold. Remove the snap ring from the fuel pressure regulator after you detach its vacuum hose and then extract the fuel pressure regulator. The O-rings and associated seal of the fuel pressure regulator must be thrown away. The installation requires following the removal steps in reverse order using new O-rings which have special fuel-resistant qualities because standard O-rings tend to produce leaks. The fuel injector pockets should receive clean engine oil either as XO-10W30-QSP or DSP or an equivalent product that fulfills Ford WSS-M2C153-G specification before component installation.
