Help Needed FPR Spring - F-Series & SuperDuty Diesel Forums

TexDiesel · 09-12-2011, 02:58 PM

My FPR spring fell apart and ford no longer has a replacement part for it. If anybody knows where i can order one or pick one up around Houston area. It is for a 95' 7.3

Try these:

Fuel Pressure Regulator Spring
(International) 1823643C1 (federal emissions; 94-98
(International) 1825854C1 (CA emissions; engine serial no. 201681-98

Fuel Pressure Regulator Valve Assembly (contains spring, valve spool & new brass plug)
(Ford) F5TZ-9K061-A (federal emissions; 94-98)
(Ford) F6TZ-9K061-AA (CA emissions; engine serial no. 201681-98)

I've never vouched the correctness (or if you can even get the springs from International), or heard of someone just getting the spring. You could just get the Ford CA regulator above and install the whole thing. Unless you dealer gives you decent prices (list is $35.62, I would get it from someplace like Tousley Ford Parts ($23.51). Cheers!

I think there is a complete aftermarket FPR assembly you can buy that even has a fuel pressure gauge on it?? Probably really expensive but an alternative.

I've never seen a bolt-on unit for the OBS mechanical fuel system. Anything else would probably be more work than it would be worth (might as well just go e-fuel at that point). Most pressure gauges also do not do very well for very long on the mechanical system. The fuel pulses just kill them! Cheers!
