6.0 & 7.3 Diesel Fuel Pressure Regulator Spring on 2040-parts.com

Fuel Pressure Regulator

• The fuel pressure regulator is mounted to the engine mounted fuel filter.
• It regulates fuel pressure by routing unfiltered fuel from the filter housing to the HFCM via a spring loaded poppet style valve.
• The cracking pressure (pressure at which the valve begins to open) of the valve is 60psi +/- 5psi.  Thus the importance of the spring not becoming weak.
