Why is my fuel rail hot?
Why is my fuel rail hot?
Fuel rails see a lot of exposure to radiated heat since they sit atop the engine, plus small engine compartments mean less airflow to help move heat out. In a closed system, that can create pressure that will cause fuel-flow irregularities, especially within the fuel rails.
How hot is too hot for fuel?
The maximum temperature reached inside a running engine on an extremely hot day is around 270 °F (130 °C), which is hundreds of degrees too low to cause autoignition.
Can a Ford Ranger start with a bad fuel filter?
At the most basic of levels your Ford Ranger needs three things to start: Air, fuel, and spark. If any of these things aren’t present, the engine won’t turn over at all. If there’s been zero warning that the fuel filter could be going bad (hesitation, difficulty starting, etc) than a clogged fuel filter might not be the place to start.
Why is my Ford Ranger not turning over?
If the fuel filter has become so contaminated that the minimum amount of fuel has not been let through it, the engine won’t start at all. At the most basic of levels your Ford Ranger needs three things to start: Air, fuel, and spark. If any of these things aren’t present, the engine won’t turn over at all.
What does fuel inertia switch do on Ford Ranger?
The Fuel inertia switch only cuts power to the fuel pump, so if tripped, the truck would have a crank no start issue. Do you have a crank no start, or no crank issue. To reset, just press down on it. To check if the switch is tripped, check for power at the connector to the fuel inertia switch
How can you tell if your fuel filter is going out?
The only way that you are going to know that your Ranger’s fuel filter may be going out is that it is no longer letting enough fuel through to keep the engine running under a heavy load, or at high-speed. Typically, if you are heading up a hill (or accelerating) the engine may start to feel like it is just running out of steam.

Why is there no pressure on the fuel rail?
If the pressure at the exit side of the fuel filter is normal and yet the pressure on the fuel rail is essentially zero, it’s possible the fuel pressure regulator has failed wide open, essentially preventing sufficient pressure from building.
