2003 Chevrolet Malibu Fuel Filler Hose Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the fuel filler hose on 2003 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: The first procedure for a new Fuel Filler Hose installation involves releasing fuel system pressure and emptying the Fuel Tank. Raising the vehicle permits you to loosen both fuel filler clamp lines located between the Fuel Tank and fuel pipe ahead of fuel hose removal. Start by detaching both the fuel filler pipe underbody screw and the screws that secure the fuel filler pipe access panel and thereafter extract the fuel filler pipe. The first step for fuel filler pipe installation requires securing the pipe to the underbody using an attaching screw which should be tightened to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Fasten the fuel filler pipe access panel screws while tightening them to 10 n.m (89 lb in). The vapor recirculation line needs to connect to the fuel filler pipe while the Fuel Tank filler hose requires attachment to both the port and filler tube with full port contact. Apply the clamp properly to the tank port that lies between the bead and tank before tightening its hose clamps to 3 n.m (27 lb in). To complete the task proceed with lowering the vehicle and filling the tank while tightening the filler cap followed by Battery Cable connection. To identify fuel leaks you must switch on the ignition for 2 seconds followed by 10 seconds of switched off position and a second ignition on check for any fuel leakage.
