• Q: How to replace the fuel filler hose on 2005 Cadillac CTS?

  A: Starting the fuel filler tube replacement requires you to remove the fuel filler cap and drain the Fuel Tank until it reaches below the Fuel Filler Hose. The process begins with Fuel Tank fuel draining underneath the Fuel Filler Hose level. The next step includes unbolting the body-mounted fuel filler tube and uninstalling the right rear wheel along with the rear bumper fascia uninstillation. First disconnect the Fuel Filler Hose from the Fuel Tank while also removing the fuel filler tube bolt from the fuel filler tube brace before moving the component out of the vehicle. When installing the system you must first position the fuel filler tube before connecting the filler hose to the Fuel Tank while tightening the fuel filler tube hose clamp to 3.5 n.m (31 lb in). First install the filler vent tube onto the evap hose, complete the installation by adding the fuel filler tube brace bolt then tighten it to 9 n.m (80 lb in). You must secure the fuel filler tube by attaching its bolts which need to be tightened at 3.5 n.m (31 lb in). The installation process requires you to replace the rear bumper fascia and right rear wheel while fueling the tank before leak inspection ends with fuel filler cap installation.
