• Q: How to service and repair the Fuel Level Sensor assembly on 2000 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: The j 34730 fuel pressure gauge serves as a first tool to service and repair the Fuel Level Sensor by relieving fuel system pressure. The process requires draining fuel up to 3/4 full level but the fuel sender support assembly rises when you move the locking ring. Note down the current position of the fuel sender strainer before removing the assembly for future installation. The fuel sender strainer should be removed from the assembly using one hand while holding the reservoir support with the other hand. Examine the fuel sender strainer for any presence of contamination and clean the tank if necessary. After checking the fuel sender strainer, discard it while removing electrical connectors from both the Fuel Pump sensor assembly and the cover assembly and then disassemble the parts of the Fuel Level Sensor. The first step in assembly requires uniting the Fuel Level Sensor followed by connecting electrical wires between the Fuel Pump and cover assembly. Install the rubber pad to the fuel sender's bottom side and set the new fuel sender strainer on the fuel sender before pushing from the outside until it reaches full contact. The first step is to install the Fuel Level Sensor after which you add fuel to the tank before placing the Fuel Tank filler pipe cap. The inspection process begins when you connect the negative Battery Cable and wait for ignition on for 2 seconds followed by 10 seconds of ignition off before turning on again. Examine for leakages before fitting the fuel sender access panel while securing its bolts at 2 n.m (18 lb in force). Put back both the rear compartment trim panel followed by the spare tire cover then install the jack and spare tire. The conclusion of this installation involves mounting the fuel injector sight shield to the engine with 3 n.m (27 lb in) torque. Install the rear seat cushion at the same time.
