1990 2.9 ranger fuel pressure regulator looks to have a non serviceable fitting do you need new fuel line?

Answer 1

I'm assuming its the black cylinder type fitting that doesn't twist/pull/smash/bash/tear/run over with the truck come off...lol What you need to do is look on the very top of the black cylinder under the regulator and there will be 2 small square holes. Now I wasn't able to find the actual tool that goes into these two holes to push down on the fitting INSIDE of the black cylinder thing, which I assume was buried with Henry Ford... Heres what you have to do and WHAT I ENDED up doing. Inside of the cylinder is a push down fitting, basically like an impact drill has, quick connect fitting, to attach fittings to the drill, and what you have to do is push 2 things down into the holes and push down on the fitting inside the cylinder to release the regulator. Now how you do that I have no idea. What I did was accidently brake the top of the black cylinder off (just plastic) to expose the push down tab thing itself, so I then just push it down by hand and pulled the regulator right off. I HATE that fitting; I could never get it off or find help with it, so I would just buy used regulators with the stock hose still connected and of course they would fail. Hope that helps man
