I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure torque spec is 28 not 25

- Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions section.
- Release the fuel system pressure.
- Disconnect the fuel pressure and temperature sensor electrical connector.
- Disconnect the fuel pressure and temperature sensor vacuum connector.
- Remove the bolts and the fuel pressure and temperature sensor.
- Remove and discard the O-ring seal.
- Install a new O-ring seal and lubricate with clean engine oil prior to installation.
- To install, reverse the removal procedure.

Damned good thread.
And it answers my question on a thread I started--I've got the same issue.
Interestingly, it started when I had the plugs replaced a couple of months ago.
Thanks to everyone posting the great details here--esp. the recall notice. I never got one.

FYI - The Dorman part that came cured my problem and has a better design than the OEM part. The o-ring is built-in to the Dorman part and sits higher in the fuel rail, leaving a lot less chance for error and fuel leaks!!

Loose Spark Plugs
So as the title suggests I am having a problem with my 2006 (89k) Expedition. When the problem first started out when there was a faint smell of gas in cab occassionally but now it has become much stronger and occurs every time the car is started. The fuems smell like raw, unburnt gasoline and the scent is coming through the air vents. My father took the car to our local dealership because a buddy of his works there and they had it for a week. No success. Everything I can think of was checked on the car, the torque of the plugs, the fuel lines, injectors, fuel rail etc. When you accelerate from a dead stop the car also has a gentle vibration until you reach about 10mph then it disappears. The fuel smell seems to dissapate as the car accelerates and is driven at highway speeds but returns at traffic lights. If this problem can't be corrected I think we are going to have to get rid of the car which is a last resort. Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance!
