• Q: How to replace the fuel filler hose on 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

  A: There are several steps available to replace the Fuel Filler Hose beginning with the removal of Fuel Tank filler housing to body torx(R) screws and pushpin retainer and Fuel Tank filler housing to Fuel Tank fill pipe bolt connections. Lift and hold the vehicle in midair after taking out the Fuel Tank filler housing. The next step involves discarding the Fuel Tank fill pipe ground wire bolt and separating the ground wire anti-rotation tab out of its frame hole. The technician must first relocate both Fuel Tank fill pipe ground and chassis harness ground wires and then open the axle vent hose clip on the fuel fill pipe bracket to remove the rear axle vent hose from its clip. The procedure to remove the Fuel Tank fill pipe starts by loosening the mounting clamp at the Fuel Tank and separating the recirculation line from the sending unit. Protect the Fuel Tank opening by applying a cap to stop contamination. Start by removing the Fuel Tank opening cap and insert the Fuel Tank fill pipe followed by securing the recirculation line to the sending unit. Tighten the Fuel Tank fill pipe clamp at the Fuel Tank to 2.5 n.m (22 lb in), and position the rear axle vent hose onto the clip of the bracket on the fuel fill pipe before securing the clip. Secure the tank fill pipe ground wire through its anti-rotation tab into the chassis frame hole before tightening the ground wire bolt to 9 n.m (80 lb in). Lower the car to drop in the Fuel Tank filler housing while fastening the bolts around the Fuel Tank fill pipe before tightening them to 2.3 n.m (20 lb in). The last step includes mounting the Fuel Tank filler housing by securing it with body torx(R) screws and pushpin retainers which must be tightened to 2.3 n.m (20 lb in).
