Fuel System Pressure Release
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
ALWAYS relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any component under fuel pressure. DO NOT allow fuel to contact engine or electrical components.
- Remove fuel tank cap. Using Fuel Pressure Gauge (T80L-9974-B), release pressure from system at pressure relief valve (Schrader valve), located on fuel injection manifold rail.
- If fuel pressure gauge is not available, disconnect Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch. See INERTIA FUEL SHUTOFF (IFS) SWITCH LOCATION table. Remove fuel cap to release fuel tank pressure. Crank engine for 15 seconds to release system pressure.
