2000 Cadillac Eldorado Fuel Level Sensor Parts and Q&A

• Q: What Tools Are Required to Service and Repair the Fuel Level Sensor in the Fuel Tank Unit on 2000 Cadillac Eldorado?

  A: The repair and servicing of the Fuel Tank unit requires fuel pressure gauge (J 34730-1A) as the primary tool for the Fuel Level Sensor. The first step requires proper ventilation during fuel operations to prevent personal harm. Engineer the Fuel Tank fuel pressure control system then empty at least three-quarters of Fuel Tank content. Before Fuel Level Sensor removal during servicing it is crucial to increase vehicle height and remember how the fuel sender strainer located initially. Support the reservoir during removal of the fuel sender strainer and inspect the strainer for contamination then clean the Fuel Tank before discarding the strainer following assessment. Remove the electrical connectors both from the sensor assembly and from the Fuel Level Sensor assembly. The new fuel sender strainer needs to be placed on the modular fuel sender and must be pushed to complete full seating. The Fuel Level Sensor requires new lip seal installation before placement within the Fuel Tank alongside clean engine oil which should be applied lightly inside the diameter. Pressurize the spring-loaded sender while holding the modular unit and the Fuel Tank together until the lip seal becomes level with the tank. Then secure the lip seal tight between surfaces. Apply clockwise motion to install the locking ring before reinstalling the Fuel Tank and lowering the vehicle after which you can add fuel. Inspection for leaks must happen after Battery Cable connection by checking the ignition through its cycle. Complete the installation by putting on the fuel injector sight shield before securing its nuts to 3 n.m (27 lb in).
