2004 Cadillac SRX Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the fuel filler hose on 2004 Cadillac SRX?

  A: The procedure to replace the fuel filler tube starts with draining the Fuel Tank below the Fuel Filler Hose before you can remove both the fuel filler cap and the fuel filler tube itself. Begin by unfastening the fuel filler tube body installation bolts before you proceed to take away the right rear wheel and the rear bumper fascia. The technician should start by taking out the fuel filler tube brace bolt after disconnecting both the Fuel Filler Hose from the Fuel Tank and the filler vent tube from the evaporative emission (EVAP) hose to remove the fuel filler tube from the vehicle. The technician installs the fuel filler tube by putting it into position within the vehicle before attaching the filler hose to the Fuel Tank while tightening the fuel filler tube hose clamp to 3.5 n.m (31 lb in). The evap hose should be connected with the filler vent tube while securing the fuel filler tube brace bolt to 9 n.m (80 lb in). This process should be followed by tightening the body bolts that secure the fuel filler tube to a torque of 3.5 n.m (31 lb in). The last steps involve installing the rear bumper fascia along with both the right rear wheel and adding fuel followed by leakage inspection then placing the fuel filler cap.
