• Q: How to replace the fuel filler hose on 2003 Buick Park Avenue?

  A: A proper replacement of the fuel filler tube requires draining all fuel from the tank below the Fuel Filler Hose. After opening the fuel filler door users should remove both the fuel filler cap and sealing ring that wraps the fuel filler tube. To access the wheel house opening fuel filler tube cover just raise your vehicle while taking out the cover. The first step involves removing the bolt from the ground wire connection then loosening the hose clamp of the fuel filler tube. One must remove both the Fuel Filler Hose and fuel filler tube although removing the Fuel Tank becomes necessary to detach the Fuel Filler Hose. Begin the installation task by putting the Fuel Tank back into position. Install the fuel filler tube into the Fuel Filler Hose and achieve the optimal position by securing it with the fuel filler tube hose clamp tightened to 3.5 n.m (31 lb in). The bolt should be reattached to the fuel filler tube ground wire while accomplishing a torque of 9 n.m using 80 lb in as the measurement. Below the vehicle, install the sealing ring around the fuel filler tube while putting on the wheel house opening fuel filler tube cover. The process ends with fuel addition to the tank followed by leaking inspection and placement and sealing of the fuel filler cap over the fuel filler door.
