• Q: How to Service and Repair a Fuel Level Sensor on 2000 Cadillac Eldorado?

  A: Repairing the Fuel Level Sensor needs the usage of a fuel pressure gauge (J 34730) tool. Ventilation must be adequate before fuel work begins to decrease the risk of personal injury. The service requires eliminating fuel system pressure while draining the tank until it reaches a 3/4 full level. Begin by performing Fuel Tank removal at a height while observing that the modular Fuel Level Sensor support assembly will appear when the locking ring moves. Handle the Fuel Level Sensor assembly with extreme caution because contact with the fuel pipes will damage it. Pay attention to the current positioning of the Fuel Level Sensor strainer before supporting the reservoir and removing its external sensor strainer. Check the strainer and clean the contaminated Fuel Tank then discard the strainer. Separate and disconnect electric wires that connect to the Fuel Level Sensor assembly of the fuel pump and cover assembly followed by Fuel Level Sensor assembly disassembly. The assembly process includes placing back the Fuel Level Sensor assembly and installing both electrical connectors to the fuel pump and cover assembly. Secure the new Fuel Level Sensor strainer onto the modular Fuel Level Sensor device until it rests fully on the mounting point. Install the Fuel Level Sensor assembly first in the Fuel Tank before reinstalling the Fuel Tank along with lowering the vehicle. Place the liquid inside the tank, connect the black cable to the battery terminal and finish by installing the fuel filler pipe cap. Beginning with a 2-second ignition switch on phase followed by a 5-second off phase leads to another 2-second on phase facilitates the inspection for fuel leaks. Finish the installation by attaching the fuel injector sight shield and fasten it with fuel injector sight shield nuts which should be tightened to 3 n.m (27 lb in).
