• Q: How to replace the fuel filler hose on 2006 Cadillac STS?

  A: The first step for replacing the fuel filler tube involves taking off the fuel filler cap and draining the Fuel Tank below the Fuel Filler Hose's position. Begin by removing body bolts securing the fuel filler tube to the vehicle and afterwards remove the right wheel along with its wheelhouse liner. The replacement process begins with dissembling the fuel filler tube by removing its bracket bolt and hose links (filler hose, fuel tank and vent tube from EVAP hose). To attach the fuel filler tube begin with positioning the component followed by connecting the filler hose to the Fuel Tank then tightening the fuel filler tube hose clamp to 3.5 n.m (31 lb in). After connecting the filler vent tube to the evap hose, install the fuel filler tube brace bolt before tightly securing it at 9 n.m (80 lb in). Fasten the fuel filler tube to the body parts by installing bolts which should be tightened to 3.5 n.m (31 lb in) before putting back the right rear wheelhouse liner and right rear wheel. The last step involves adding fuel to the tank followed by leak inspection before putting back the fuel filler cap.
