Fuel pressure regulating valve
Pressure relief valve

Fuel Pressure Regulating Valve
A improperly operating fuel pressure regulating valve may cause high fuel pressure. If a problem is suspected, inspect the return fuel pressure regulating valve. Clean any contamination or debris that may keep the regulating valve from operating properly. If debris is present, find the source of the contamination. Replace the return fuel pressure regulating valve if the valve is worn or damaged.Pressure Relief Valve
There is a pressure relief valve that is used to return excess fuel volume to the inlet side of the fuel transfer pump. Check the outlet pressure of the fuel transfer pump. Refer to the Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting manual for details. If the fuel transfer pump is the cause of the problem, replace the fuel transfer pump.Fuel Lines
Inspect the fuel lines for damage. A restricted return fuel line can increase fuel pressure.
