• Q: How to replace the fuel filler hose on 2004 Buick Park Avenue?

  A: Draining the Fuel Tank to a level below the Fuel Filler Hose then makes it possible to replace the fuel filler tube. Locate the fuel filler door and eliminate the fuel filler cap and separate the sealing ring around the fuel filler tube. Users should start by raising the vehicle and removing the wheel house opening fuel filler tube cover. The next step involves removing the bolt from the fuel filler tube ground wire before slackening the fuel filler tube hose clamp. The technician should unlink the fuel filler tube from the Fuel Filler Hose. The removal process of the Fuel Filler Hose requires complete Fuel Tank extraction. The first step for installation begins with reattaching the Fuel Tank unless you removed it previously. The fuel filler tube insertion into the Fuel Filler Hose needs proper alignment and fit which allows securing the fuel filler tube hose clamp at a torque force of 3.5 n.m (31 lb in). Secure the bolt connecting the fuel filler tube ground wire to a torque of 9 n.m (80 lb in) while putting the wheel house opening fuel filler tube cover in place. After lowering the vehicle you must add fuel to the tank while checking for any fuel leakage and install the sealing ring around the fuel filler tube. Set the fuel filler cap into the Fuel Tank and close the fuel filler door.
