6. Install the new regulator by carefully pushing and
rotating it slightly into the base or housing.
a. External Regulators with Square Base Housing
Only; Install a new O-Ring between the
regulator and the mounting bracket. Set the
mounting bracket into position.
b. Secure the regulator in the base with the
original retaining ring or screws. Be careful not
to dent or damage the body of the regulator as
operating performance can be affected.
7. Reassemble and connect any parts removed in
step 3.
8. Reconnect the negative (-) battery cable.
9. Recheck regulated system pressure at fuel rail
test valve.
Fuel Filter
EFI engines use a high-volume, high-pressure, 10-15
micron, in-line fuel filter.
Figure 5B-29. In-Line Fuel Filter.
Service
Filter replacement is recommended every
1500 hours
of operation or more frequently under extremely dusty
or dirty conditions. Use only the specified filter, and
install it according to the directional arrows.
Do not
use a substitute filter as operating performance and
safety can be affected. Relieve system pressure
through the safety valve in the fuel rail before servicing.
Figure 5B-30. Throttle Body/Intake Manifold.
General
The fuel rail is a formed tube assembly that feeds fuel
to the top of the injectors. The tops of the injectors fit
into formed cups in the fuel rail. When the rail is
fastened to the manifold, the injectors are locked into
place. A small retaining clip provides a secondary lock.
Incorporated into the fuel rail is a pressure relief/test
valve for testing operating pressure or relieving fuel
system pressure for servicing. The fuel supply line is
attached to the barbed end of the fuel rail with an
Oetiker hose clamp.
Service
The fuel rail is mounted to the throttle body/intake
manifold. No specific servicing is required unless
operating conditions indicate that it needs internal
cleaning or replacement. It can be detached by
removing the two mounting screws and the injector
retaining clips. Thoroughly clean the area around all
joints and relieve any pressure before starting any
disassembly.
