Yes, on a 1997 Ford F-350 with fuel injection, there is a vacuum line attached to the fuel pressure regulator. This line typically connects to the intake manifold, allowing the regulator to adjust fuel pressure based on engine load and vacuum conditions. The vacuum helps ensure optimal fuel delivery under varying engine demands. Always consult a service manual for specific routing and details for your vehicle.
on the fuel rail. Looks like a silver bell, with a vacuum line attached to it.
It doesn't have a vacuum line attached to the fuel pressure regulator.
underneath the engine cover on the drivers side. It's connected to the fuel line right before the fuel rail to the fuel injectors. It has a vacuum line attached to the top of it.
GM likes to put these on the ends of the fuel rails--- look there. If you see a device connected to the rail which has a vacuum hose attached to it, that's it. jb
A vacuum line is attached to a fuel pressure regulator on many port fuel-injected engines to help maintain the appropriate fuel pressure relative to the intake manifold pressure. When the engine is under load and the manifold vacuum decreases, the regulator compensates by allowing higher fuel pressure, ensuring that the fuel injectors deliver the correct amount of fuel for optimal combustion. This dynamic adjustment helps improve engine performance and efficiency across varying driving conditions.
Attached to the end of the fuel rail (pie that connects to the injectors) there should be a round metal thing with a vacuum hose attached to it. This round thing is your fuel pressure regulator. Do not disconnect the vacuum hose with the engine running if you suspect a bad regulator, as fuel may spurt of if the diaphragm leaks and this could be a fire hazard.
At idle fuel pressure should be 30-37 psi.At WOT or without the pressure regulator vacuum hose attached it should be 38-46 psi.
On the 4 cylinder engine it is screwed to and part of the throttle body injection unit. The 3.0 litre V6 it is attached to the end of one fuel rail and has a vacuum line and a fuel line attached to it The 3.3 litre V6 it is a little brass coloured pot with a vacuum line attached clamped into the fuel rail.
It is attached to the bank of fuel injectors (the spider) under the upper intake manifold.
IT IS A CAP I JUST HAD TO REPLACE MINE
the fuel pressure without vacuum is 34psi. and with vacuum 43psi.
