2000 Cadillac Seville Fuel Filler Hose Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the fuel filler hose on 2000 Cadillac Seville?

  A: Service or repair operations on the Fuel Filler Hose need to start with fuel system fuel pressure relief through the use of the fuel pressure gauge (J 34730). The first step is draining the Fuel Tank and implementing vehicle lifting procedures before increasing the vehicle height. You must first remove the exhaust system together with the wheel house filler pipe opening cover to reach the Fuel Tank filler pipe. Work to detach the Fuel Tank filler pipe ground wire strap bolt before taking out the fuel feed along with fuel return and evap pipes next to the Fuel Filter and the evap pipes and retainers at the evaporative emission canister. The technician must disconnect the Fuel Tank electrical connectors along with removing Fuel Tank bolts from the Fuel Tank straps to pull out the Fuel Tank from the vehicle for placement in the work area. The Fuel Tank requires disconnected filler tube clamp and fuel filler tube removal. Start installation by fixing the Fuel Tank filler tube to the Fuel Tank before you install the tube and secure the clamp at 4 n.m (35 lb in). Position the Fuel Tank with help before you install the Fuel Tank straps while tightening the strap bolts to 48 n.m (35 lb ft). The installer should replace rear suspension support assembly bolts and Fuel Tank electrical connectors and install evap pipes and retainers together with fuel feed and fuel return pipes and evap pipes near the Fuel Filter. The installation requires tightening the Fuel Tank filler ground wire to 9 n.m (80 lb in) while securing the Fuel Tank filler pipe attaching screw. Reinstall the wheel house filler pipe opening cover while placing back the exhaust system then lower the vehicle. Begin adding fuel before putting on and tightening the Fuel Tank filler pipe cap while reconnecting the negative Battery Cable and performing a fuel leak check as described in the instructions. Last, fix the rear seat cushion to the engine while using the intake manifold sight shield which requires 3 n.m (27 lb in) torque when tightening the intake manifold shield nuts.
