2004 GMC Savana 3500 Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the fuel filler hose with a left-hand door on 2004 GMC Savana 3500?

  A: Cleaning all fuel pipe and hose connections with surrounding areas for contamination prevention is the first step when replacing the filler tube and left-hand door. Pour out the fuel until it reaches below the level of the fuel tank fill hose by removing the fuel filler cap. The first step requires users to remove the two retaining bolts and push-pin which attaches the filler neck to the body structure, after which they must elevate the vehicle. Start the procedure by uninstalling the fuel filler tube ground strap bolt followed by loosening and disconnecting the fuel fill hose from the fuel fill pipe to remove the fuel fill pipe assembly. As you install the fuel fill pipe into the hose you need to align it properly with the housing before tightening the clamp to 2.75 n.m (24 lb in). Lower the vehicle after you return the fuel filler tube ground strap bolt to its proper position by tightening it to 8 n.m (70 lb in). Secure the fuel fill pipe housing bolts along with the push-pin by tightening them to 6 n.m (53 lb in). The last step includes refilling the fuel tank before securing the fuel filler cap.
