2003 Cadillac CTS Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the fuel filler hose on 2003 Cadillac CTS?

  A: Before replacing the fuel filler tube drivers must drain fuel from the tank until it reaches below the Fuel Filler Hose level and remove the fuel cap. Start by removing the body-secured bolts for the fuel filler tube before you proceed to detach both right rear wheel and right rear fascia extension. The Fuel Filler Hose needs to be detached from the Fuel Tank while also deconnecting the filler vent tube from the evap hose before you can remove the fuel filler tube from the vehicle. The installation process demands positioning the fuel filler tube after connecting the filler hose to the Fuel Tank while securely tightening the fuel filler tube hose clamp to 3.5 n.m (31 lb in). To install this piece attach the filler vent tube to the evap hose then install the fuel filler tube brace bolt while torquing it to 9 n.m (80 lb in). You should secure the fuel filler tube to the vehicle body with 3.5 n.m (31 lb in) torque while you replace the right rear fascia extension followed by the right rear wheel. The last step includes tank fueling followed by leak inspections and securement of the fuel filler cap.
