Re: Fuel Reservoir Check Valve Problem in 1988 Model

Update update.

I've been driving this '88 Ranger like crazy lately with the fuel reservoir check valve removed and it starts and runs flawlessly. I forgot how great this little truck is. Couldn't...

Re: Running OK WITHOUT Fuel Reservoir Check-valve

Update: 1988 Ranger fixed. See Post #1 for original problem/question.

As mentioned, I proceeded to remove the check-valve from the plastic fuel reservoir (Part #FOTZ-9K044-A). I just broke off the...

Re: Fuel Reservoir Check Valve Problem in 1988 Model

Thanks for the links. I read them all. I also called tascaparts.com and some other online dealers who listed my reservoir IN STOCK, but none actually had it. There's probably one out there somewhere,...

Re: Fuel Reservoir Check Valve Problem in 1988 Model

I'm also thinking the check valve might not be essential. Worth a try without it.

On my plastic reservoir the joint is about 1/4 inch below the top of the canister part of the unit. Measured...

Re: Fuel Reservoir Check Valve Problem in 1988 Model

Tomw,

I imagine you've repeatedly sprayed the connecting joint with penetrating lube. I've heard that 50/50 auto trans fluid and acetone works better than PB Blaster. I can't tell the difference...

Schrader valve location on 2.3 liter four?

Where is the Schrader valve on the 1988 2.3 liter Ranger 4 cylinder engine? I think it should be on the fuel rail but I can't locate it. Shouldn't this year have one in order to test the fuel...

Re: Getting bad gas out of a 1988?

I found out which pin on the EEC-IV self-test connector runs the fuel pump. But I'm still not sure how to ground it properly to make the fuel pumps run continuously so I can empty the tank. Somebody...

Getting bad gas out of a 1988?

My '88 Ranger has old bad gas in the tank and that I need to drain out. It seems that I can run the pumps and drain the tank by jumpering the fuel pumps test pin in the self-test connector. But I'm...
