fuel pressure regulator?

You can continue to throw parts at it until you are broke and probably still won't have it fixed. You need to do some testing starting with pulling the codes and reading the fuel pressure.
I agree with you, just do not know how to pull codes. Fuel pressure at KOEO should be? From what I read I could count blinking check engine light and cross reference codes, but the check engine light will start to blink after fuel pump stops after initial key on, my fuel pump stays running though so I am perplexed on how to read codes.

Engine Performance problem
1990 Ford Ranger 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual
was shooting raw gas out of tailpipe exchd. fuel pressure regulator (with used one) not shooting raw gas out but smokes and still flooding it self out after running 3 4 min.

I seriously doubt you have raw fuel coming out of the tailpipe. It would never make it all the way through. Your probably just see condensation dripping.

i know it was gas it was puddling on the apron of my garage! since i exchd. the fuel pressure reg. now its just flooding itself out . is your answer to my question that i didnt know what i was seeing?

Are you sure that couldn't be leaking from the fuel tank? Never in my life have I seen fuel get all the way through and a catalytic converter and a muffler. The Converter gets so hot that it would ignite long before getting through it anyway.
You certainly could be having some kind of flooding problem and that would take an injector balance test to determine if one was leaking. Usually when that happens, the gas runs down the cylinder walls and into the crank case and dilutes the oil and not the exhaust system.

when problem first started smoke was rolling out of tailpipe with gas . thought it was going to catch on fire . after exchd fuel pressure reg. it just smokes a little & ismell gas . could used fuel pressure reg. be also deft? vacume operated no vacume leaks. problem is better & i dont thinkis coincedence!

You can do some testing with a fuel pressure gauge to determine if you have a pressure loss anywhere but i don't have much else for you. It just doesn't add up to anything I recognize.

im no further ahead than when i started. it seems like no one is aware of what im even talking about! telling me to check if my fuel tank is leaking! i have turned a few wrenches in my life, but im stumped and seems like you are to.contacting (two pros.com?) was a mistake expensive too.yes i am dissatisfied. lets see how good your money back garentee is now!

Let's see if anyone else here has any ideas. In 40 years of doing this, I have never seen raw fuel get all the way through an exhaust system without burning off first in the converter.
It shouldn't be that difficult do determine where that volume of fuel is coming from if it is. I suggested doing pressure leak down tests to find out but apparently your not interested in doing that.
