  Q: What are the crucial steps and safety precautions to follow when servicing the fuel rail on Mercury Monterey?

  A: Safety measures must be followed during fuel rail servicing since the system contains extremely combustible fluids which maintain high pressure even when the engine stops operating. The first procedure involves disconnecting the battery ground cable followed by relieving the fuel pressure. Starting with harness wire removal from the fuel charging and subsequent vacuum connection removal from the fuel pressure and temperature sensor. You must remove the fuel tube retaining clip before taking out the tube spring lock coupling. When reinstalling the fuel injection supply manifold bolts tighten them to 10 Nm (89 lb-in) torque value. You must remove the fuel injection supply manifold before uninstalling both the fuel injector clips and fuel injectors. Manufacturers must replace all O-ring seals with fuel-resistant special material because standard O-ring seals will create fuel system leaks. Keep discarded the original O-ring seals since reusing them is forbidden. To place O-ring seals during installation readers should follow the removal steps in reverse order while lubricating new seals with clean engine oil before installation.
