How do i release the fuel pressure on a 1996 Oldsmobile 88/LS?

I need to change the fuel filter on my Olds 88 and i think there is a relay for it. If anyone knows what relay it is that would be helpful. Or maybe even where i can find the right relay to pull.



ThanksHow do i release the fuel pressure on a 1996 Oldsmobile 88/LS?There's nothing that can be done with the fuel pressure regulator to relieve fuel system pressure. And it doesn't look like a switch. It's a small round silver canister attached to one end of one of the fuel rails, with a vacuum hose attached to it.



The fuel pressure can be relieved by running the engine dry after removing the fuel pump relay or fuse (#6 in your passenger side fuse panel), but the easiest way is to just depress the Schraeder Valve on the fuel rail. Use a small screwdriver to depress the valve, holding some shop towels/rags around it, to keep it from spraying all over the place.

Also, loosen the fuel filler cap to relieve fuel tank vapor pressure.How do i release the fuel pressure on a 1996 Oldsmobile 88/LS?The relay should be in the fuse box that's under the hood. You will see a black plastic box with a cover (lid) that you will need to pop off to get to the relay ,on the bottom of the lid will be a lable to show you the different relays %26amp; fuses.How do i release the fuel pressure on a 1996 Oldsmobile 88/LS?there should be a Fuel pressure regulator that looks like a lil switch im not sure where it is tho sorry if thats no helpHow do i release the fuel pressure on a 1996 Oldsmobile 88/LS?yes
