2002 2.4 Cannot stop fuel pressure regulator leak
Saturday, May 16, 2009 5:24 PM
Hello, I just bought a new fuel rail, new injectors, and a fuel pressure regulator and I go it installed and seemed to work great until i checked for leaks. I had a leak on the fuel line that connects directly to the regulator. I tried my new one, my old one, combination of each brackets and some type of crappy retention mechanism and no matter what I do I cannot get it to leak. I did not see any type of o-ring with the new or the old old so i dunno if it leaks because the fuel line is bent slightly out of the way it likes, i tried bending it all around an no help. Dunno what to do anymore, short of a o-ring or some type of filler like teflon tape but dont think thats quite applicable for fuel.

Yes you need an O-ring on that regulator. Only fuel O-rings. One should of came with your NEW regulator you bought. Take that bish back and tell em no O-ring came with it. Thats why you can't stop the leak.

Just to clarify I do have a o-ring on the side that goes into the rail, just no ring on the line that goes in the regulator from below. Funny thing is I could not find the one that was on their before unless it fell off and didnt notice it. Appreciate the repsonse!

Ok went to the parts store and a o-ring is supplied normally with it. They didnt sell separate but they helped me out and gave me one. Works great now. Thanks for your help!
