Regulator Screen

So i attemped to clean my screen today.
Everything was going OK until I dropped it in the valley never to be seen again.
Is it something I can buy at Ford?
I need the truck tomorrow so i guess I drive without the screen.
Is that a real bad idea?

That's the reason I always say clean it from inside the bowl and don't take the FPR off. But never fear. Find a screen of similar mesh....i.e. a faucet screen in the house from the sink, or a screen from something you "may" find at a smoke shop etc. cut it to size around the plastic piece which can be removed from the FPR. ******But be careful, there is a plastic check ball behind it!!!!****** Once you have your new screen the size it needs to be heat up the screen glowing red with a lighter. Quickly stick it to the plastic piece and melt it together. You could use a flat blade screwdriver to push on it a little. That should take care of it. Hope that helps.

My truck did not have one when I got it. Had about 110k on it when I picked up on this. Truck seems fine.I think the screen is to help remove air from the fule. I got a pipe screen from a smoke shop. The silver ones are stainless steel and a real pain to cut to size so you might want to use the brass ones if you go this route. Thanks Rubber Duck for sending me the plastic ball I lost and goon luck Vinford.

Latter.......

Westcoastslider mentioned the O-Ring. I want to put emphasis on the 0-Ring Don't loose it or you will have
Big Leak.

You can get the OEM replacement kit fro the stealership for around $35.00 and you can rest assured that it won't be in stock and it will have to be ordered. A call to the International Dealer might be a better way to go if you have one close by.
