2004 Chevrolet Express 3500 Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the fuel filler hose without the left-hand door on 2004 Chevrolet Express 3500?

  A: The first step to change the fuel tube with the left-hand door open begins with complete cleaning of both fuel pipe connections and surrounding areas to guard against fuel system contamination. Before starting drain the fuel until it reaches below the fuel tank fill hose. The next step requires the removal of two bolts and push-pin that connect the filler neck to the body before lifting the vehicle. The replacement of the fuel fill pipe assembly begins by disengaging the fuel fill hose from the fuel fill pipe while handling both components through loosening the fuel fill hose clamp. The installation of the fuel fill pipe requires aligning it to the fuel fill pipe housing followed by torquing the fuel fill hose clamp to 2.75 n.m (24 lb in). Screw and tighten the fuel filler tube ground strap bolt to 8 n.m with a final step of lowering the vehicle. Secure the fuel fill pipe housing bolts and push-pin while tightening them to 6 n.m (53 lb in). To finish up replace the fuel with fresh gas before placing the fuel filler lid back in its position.
