• Q: How to replace the Fuel Filler Hose in dual tanks on 2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT?

  A: When changing the filler tube in dual tanks start by disconnecting the rear Fuel Tank and removing its ground wire harness bolt followed by rearranging the ground wire and fill pipe ground strap. Begin by opening the axle vent hose clip at the fill pipe and taking out the vent hose before you can loosen the Fuel Tank fill hose clamp at the front tank. First disconnect the fuel fill hose vent line quick connect fitting from the tank before removing the fill hose from the front tank. Then extract the fuel fill hose/pipe assembly while closing the end of the Fuel Tank with a cap to stop contamination. To begin installation detach the cap from the open front Fuel Tank end before inserting the fuel fill hose/pipe assembly which connects the fill hose to the front tank and the fuel fill hose vent line quick connect fitting to the tank. Before installation complete the Fuel Tank front fill hose clamp with a torque setting of 2.5 n.m (22 lb in) while placing the rear axle vent hose into its retaining clip before closing it. Position the ground wire together with the fill pipe ground strap before attaching the ground wire harness bolt and tightening it to 9 n.m (80 lb in). Finally, replace the rear Fuel Tank.
