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

  A: The necessary equipment for servicing the Fuel Level Sensor includes a fuel pressure gauge (J 34730) together with a fuel sender lock nut wrench (J 39765). To start with the procedure you need to release fuel system pressure then drain your fuel tank until it reaches 3/4 of its capacity. Take out the Fuel Level Sensor assembly while paying attention to where the fuel sender strainer should be placed for future installation. You should support the reservoir with one hand before pulling off the external fuel sender strainer from the Fuel Pump using your other hand. The strainer should be inspected for contamination so you must replace it if necessary. The procedure requires removing electrical connectors from the sensor assembly and cover assembly and Fuel Level Sensor assembly. After assembling the Fuel Level Sensor assembly it is time to reestablish all electrical connections. Install a fresh fuel sender strainer onto the modular Fuel Level Sensor until it reaches a complete position. Reinstall the Fuel Level Sensor assembly while also connecting the negative Battery Cable and inspect leakage by properly cycling the ignition on and off as per the specifications. Begin by installing the Fuel Level Sensor access panel and secure its bolts at 2 n.m (18 lb in). Then install the rear compartment floor trim before moving on to the spare tire along with jack and tire cover. After refueling the tank, place the fuel tank filler pipe cap together with the rear seat cushion and intake manifold sight shield and tighten the shield nuts to 3 n.m (27 lb in).
