The fuel pressure regulator is leaking on my wife's 2000 Windstar 3.8 engine. How do I remove the regulator? I have the part on the way, just cant see how the old one comes off.

Thanks for the reply Bert bu I found out afterwards how to remove the fuel pressure regulator and its not how the regulator comes it, its actually a snap ring. What I also found out is that it wasnt the regulator thats leaking, its the line from the base where the regulator mounts into and runs back to the fuel rail.

Some have snap rings and some bolt on but glad to hear that you found it and fixed it. Thanks for the update.

Well I did figure out now I just need to find one at a junk yard, no longer available from Ford or Advance Auto, Autozone, etc. Need to get it fixed before the Mrs. can drive it again. Spraying fuel like a garden hose with a hole in it.

Check Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market for used but Rock Auto has them.

So I have located a couple places that have the fuel rail, how much time am I looking at doing this in the driveway myself?

Hard to say how long. I've done that type of work for a living so I'd be way off. If you're changing the whole rail, it would take a lot longer. I'd get a new one from Rock Auto. Check Autozones sit for a newer van and see if it shows more detail to your type of sensor.
