Is this the blue spring?
This is not out of my truck. this is a spring we use on equipment at work. Now for my idea. can someone tell me if this spring matches, in geometry and pressure to the blue spring? If so, Ill save me some money, and Ill dave yall some money. Might be a cheaper mod than you think! lol. I can measure this dpring for geometry. and I can find out the pressure from the place we order them. McMaster Carr, I think.

If I was going to roll those dice on my 6.0's fuel system, I would be darn sure to have a fuel pressure gauge hooked up.
Not worth it my book, not to mention you will want to replace that gasket when you take the cover off.........plus the o-rings for the fuel lines.

Ford, like all manufacturers make very little of their product. In this case, none as it’s Navistars.
To determine a springs force you need to know the wire diameter, the wire size, the total height, type of material, amount of coils, the OD and how the ends are wound. Probably something I’m missing.......

Blue ain’t the reason it works.

The “blue spring” wasn’t an across the board replacement for all vehicles, it was a solution for certain problem applications. How the internet interpreted it is another discussion.

This is excessive in the cost side of things
But you do get the ability to adjust the pressure.

Ford Fuel Pressure Regulator Blue Spring Kit - Riffraff Diesel Performance
Just for example, and you get a bunch more than just a spring.
Not diss'ing you, but even if you could get just the spring for 10 bucks plus shipping.... Really?
