• Q: How to replace the Fuel Level Sensor assembly on 2000 Buick LeSabre?

  A: Safety begins when you acquire a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher and establish exhaust ventilation and the replacement of the Fuel Level Sensor. Women jobbers should always use protective goggles and they must clean all fuel pipe connections alongside their surrounding environment to avoid pollution. The first step should be to reduce fuel system pressure while draining all fuel from the tank until it reaches a 3/4 full level. Disassemble the rear spare tire elements starting with the cover and jack followed by removing the floor trim which will protect against static discharges. Begin by taking out both the compartment trim panel replacement - rear along with the needed Fuel Level Sensor access panel. You should disconnect both the quick-connect fittings along with the electrical connectors that service the Fuel Level Sensor and the Fuel Tank pressure sensor. To remove the modular Fuel Level Sensor you should tip it while being careful to avoid float damage and transfer residual fuel to an authorized container. The maintenance professional should employ the j 39675 Fuel Level Sensor spanner wrench to detach both the Fuel Level Sensor retaining ring and retainer cam before extracting the Fuel Level Sensor while discarding the o-ring. Surface inspection of Fuel Tank o-ring seals should happen before applying a new rubber o-ring seal onto the Fuel Tank. The installation process requires proper Fuel Level Sensor placement with retainer cam alongside a proper orientation of the Fuel Pump Strainer to avoid twisting or folding. The j 39765 Fuel Level Sensor spanner wrench should be used to install the Fuel Level Sensor and retainer cam followed by reconnection of the quick-connect fittings and electrical connectors. Let the negative Battery Cable reestablish its connection before you confirm leak-free operation when you activate the ignition switch off and on. Complete the procedure by securing the Fuel Level Sensor access panel with 2 nm of torque (18 lb in) then put back the rear compartment trim panel along with the spare tire, jack, and spare tire cover while filling the tank with fuel and closing the Fuel Tank filler cap.
