• Q: How to Replace a Fuel Filler Hose on a Pickup on 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500?

  A: The replacement process for a pickup fuel filler tube starts with body torx(R) screw and pushpin retainer removal from the fuel tank filler housing followed by disconnection of the bolts between the housing and fuel tank fill pipe. You should start by detaching the housing from the fuel filler tank then elevate the vehicle up until it reaches the middle support point. The first task involves removing the fuel tank fill pipe ground wire bolt while unwinding the ground wire anti-rotation tab from its frame hole positioning. Begin by relocating the fuel tank fill pipe ground wire as well as the chassis harness ground wire and proceed to open the rear axle vent hose clip at the fuel fill pipe bracket to remove the hose. Untighten the fuel tank fill pipe clamp located at the fuel tank while you detach the recirculation line from the sending unit prior to pulling out the fuel tank fill pipe. Before moving forward secure an opening cap on the fuel tank to stopping contamination. First remove the fuel tank opening cap then position the fuel tank fill pipe and properly fasten its recirculation line to the sending unit. Use a wrench to tighten the fuel tank fill pipe clamp at 2.5 n.m resulting in 22 lb in torque while also routing the rear axle vent hose to the fuel fill pipe bracket clip before closing it. Secure the fuel tank fill pipe ground wire by installing its anti-rotation tab into the frame hole and tightening the ground wire bolt to 9 n.m (80 lb in). Reinstall the fuel tank filler housing by tightening its fuel tank filler housing to fuel tank fill pipe bolts to 2.3 n.m (20 lb in) followed by torx(R) screws and pushpin retainer with the same torque value.
