Fuel Pressure Regulator

Removal Procedure

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and personal
injury, it is necessary to relieve the fuel system
pressure before servicing the fuel system
components.

CAUTION: After relieving the system pressure, a
small amount of fuel may be released when servicing
fuel lines or connections.  Reduce the chance of
personal injury by covering the fuel line fittings with
a shop towel before disconnecting the fittings.  The
towels will absorb any fuel that may leak out.  When
the disconnect is completed, place the towel in an
approved container.

NOTE: Compressed air must never be used to test or
clean a fuel pressure regulator, as damage to the fuel
pressure regulator may result.

NOTE: To prevent damage to the fuel pressure regulator,
do not immerse the pressure regulator in solvent.

1. Depressurize the fuel system.  Refer to 

Fuel Pressure

Relief Procedure.

2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the fuel pump relay.  Refer to 

Fuel Pump

Relay.
