2000 Chevrolet Impala Fuel Filler Hose Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the fuel filler hose on 2000 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: The service and repair procedure of fuel filler hoses begins by releasing fuel system pressure while elevating the vehicle. Close all openings on the pipes with installation caps and plugs to avoid outside contaminants. The service requires you to loosen both Fuel Filler Hose clamps at the tank and fuel filler pipe before removing the hose. The fuel filler pipe service requires starting with screw removal on two different areas: first from the underbody then from the fuel filler pipe access panel. Lastly remove the fuel filler pipe. Begin fuel filler pipe installation through securing the attaching screws to the fuel filler pipe access panel while tightening them to 10 n.m (88 lb in). Put the attaching screw into position on the underbody before fully tightening it to 10 n.m (88 lb in). Complete the vapor recirculation line connection to the fuel filler pipe then attach the Fuel Filler Hose while tightening its clamps at the Fuel Tank and fuel filler pipe. Place the filler hose entirely onto the Fuel Tank port and fuel filler pipe while positioning the clamp correctly on tank port betweem bead and tank before tightening all Fuel Tank filler hose clamps to 2.5 n.m (22 lb in). After the battery connection, drop the car and secure the fuel cap before restoring the negative cable connection. A complete inspection for fuel leaks needs you to turn on the ignition for 2 seconds followed by 10 seconds of turning it off before turning it on again to check for fuel leakage.
