Default Relocate fuel pressure regulator?????

2000 K3500, 7.4
Found that it was leaking bad.
Has anyone tied to relocate it?????
Is it part of the fuel rail????
Seem like a stupid place to put it.

It can be removed by removing the clip and then pulling straight out. It will help to spray lube around the perimeter and twist back and forth as you pull. Check to make sure both o-rings are out - sometimes they can get stuck in the rail.

Use a little grease on the new regulator to ease installation.

I don’t know if anyone has tried to relocate it but I’m sure it’s possible, however it usually only requires replacement maybe once in the life of the truck so that seems unnecessary.

It such a pain to get to.
I'm going to run a longer vacuum line with a splice in it.
This way I can check to see if it ever leaks again.
