Fuel Pressure Regulator

[JHarris1385]

At this point of driving to work with hwy and city driving included in the excursion. I would at least say an increase of 3-4mpg for me. I would hope to see this tank reach about 17.3ish. (Once again Im lifted running heave 20'' rims with a 31ish inch tire)

I would think it could be cleaned with some fuel treatment on a rag. There was also some debris on top of the screen. It cost $70 but well worth it over time. I used to not see 230 miles a tank. Should have taken pictures. (started about about 8pm last night in the driveway not the garage, it started to POUR down about a half hour into it.) Woke up a little early for work and was in a rush to put the VX back together).

Here is the link for the one I bought. Enlarge the picture of the part the mesh screen on mine was dirty and sort of clogged and there was debris on top of it.

Oh sweet Baby Jesus.

I cannot for the life of me get that dang bolt out. THe one facing the cabin. NOthing I have fits in the area for me to ratchet. I have an adjustablke head one I just bought...no dice. Is taht Craftsman ratchet above thinner in some way than the average ratchet?

I tried everything from a horisonztal screwdriver/ratvhet thing (ratchet is too weak...the thing splits and won
t turn tight bolt)...adjustable head ratchet...to trying to use pliers to just turn a hex bit. NOthing works...the space to the wall is too short to get anything in...and the bolt itself is too tight!

FYI that ETM manual scan on rapidshare is the 99 manual - there's a separate 00 manual that covers the differences in the climate control. From what I can tell the rest of the manual is the same.

What i did is used a cheap L allen wrench and put a pipe over it.

oh holy crap. I won't even go over all the crap I've been doing the last few weekends trying to get that thing. bolt still in. still crappy mpg. the not-as-hot weather has made starting not a problem anymore, though.

Your idea is great though. I don't have a pipe handy...you use anything specific? I need to get a vice grip pliers and put a hex bit into the hole, twist via pliers. I tried with regular pliers...but it kept slipping. I really, really don't know how anyone can get that thing out. I've probably spent more on new tools that I could have just paying someone to do it...
