Some of the national brand autostores used to loan out a fuel pressure cuff. Without something to point us in the right direction, all I can do is hunt and peck.

I AM CHANGING A FUEL FILTER ON MY FORD RANGER, IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIAL I Need TO DO, OR DO I JUST REMOVE THE CLIPS FROM THE LINE AND REPLACE THE FILTER.

Make clean all dirt and/or grease from the fuel filter fittings. "Quick Connect'' fittings are used on models equipped with a pressurized fuel arrangement. These fittings must be disconnected using the proper process or the fittings may exist damaged. The fuel filter uses a "hairpin'' clip retainer. Spread the two hairpin prune legs about 1 / eight in. (3mm) each to disengage it from the fitting, and then pull the prune outward. Use finger pressure only; do not use any tools. Push the quick connect fittings onto the filter ends. Ford recommends that the retaining clips be replaced whenever removed. The fuel tubes used on these fuel systems are manufactured in five / 16 in. And 3 / eight in. Diameters. Each fuel tube takes a different size hairpin clip, then keep this in mind when purchasing new clips. A click will be heard when the hairpin clip snaps into its proper position. Pull on the lines with moderate pressure to ensure proper connection. Start the engine and check for fuel leaks. If the inertia switch (reset switch) was disconnected to relieve the fuel arrangement force per unit area, bicycle the ignition switch from the OFF to ON position several times to re-charge the fuel arrangement before attempting to start the engine.

How does one relieve the fuel line pressure on this vehicle prior to replacing the filter?

Thank you,

Well, yous could relieve the pressure level from your fuel track. There is a black capped valve (looks like to tire valve) brand sure the key is off, than press in till pressure is relieved. You will get fuel all over your engine. Me, I would just grab a pan and slowly pull the line from the filter. It volition merely spray for a second or two. Every bit long as the key is off.

There'south an easy manner to do it:
turn your auto on and unplug the fuel pump relay.
Your car volition keep running for a few seconds and then will die. Endeavor to start it a few more times (with the relay still removed) to make sure you get rid of any force per unit area left, and y'all're practiced to get.

After you're washed replacing the filter, and with the relay back on there, turn your key to 'on' a few times to rebuild pressure.
