Blue Spring

I installed my new fuel pressure gauge and my at first my pressure was 40 but after taking it for a run the pressure dropped to 30 at idle. I know that is not good so I will install the blue spring. First I will bleed the system tomorrow. I looked on partsguyed.com but couldn't find the blue spring kit. Do you need the whole housing or can you just order the blue spring? what is the part number or what is it called when you attempt to look it up. Blue spring brought no results. If you can just order the spring what is the advantage of the whole housing?

You can get just the spring and save yourself some money. There is really no advantage of the whole housing.

I haven't seen anywhere selling just the spring by itself except for the places with the non-OEM spring that will put fuel pressure at 100 PSI or so.

You may have to call and ask for the 6E7Z-9C165-B part. Many places do not have it listed in the web based parts system, but they still can get it for you. Start w/ PartsGuyEd or TousleyFordParts
