Fuel Pressure - Excursion
The pressure dropped on me again after 600 miles or so. I stopped at the auto parts store and picked up more motorcraft filters but when i pulled the filters they weren't dirty hardly any but i replaced them anyway. Got back on the road and still pressure dropping. I was extremely low on fuel so i limped to a gas station and filled up and got back on the road. The pressure improved some still dropped on WOT and dropped from 60 to 50 on highway.
I watched a video on the fuel pressure regulator and realized i installed a kit that didnt have the poppet seat, housing, etc. I ordered a new kit and installed this morning. Now the pressures are even worse. Drops from 62 to 40 at WOT and sometimes hits below 40.
I thought maybe cracked pickup tube in tank so i filled up with diesel and no difference.
So frustrated. I feel like i have checked everything. Wasted a whole morning trying to figure this out. UGH
with something that is in the tank. I know it a Pain to do but removing the
assembly and cleaning the pickup is what I would do at this point.
If you fins something that looks like a sludge then you may have an algae
issue and need to treat it with an algaecide to kill it.
