• Q: How to replace the secondary fuel tank module on 2008 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: The replacement process for the secondary Fuel Tank module requires the fuel sender lock ring tool (J39765-A) as one of your necessary tools. The service starts with Fuel Tank removal before disconnecting the evap vent line quick connect by securing a shop cloth around exposed fuel line fittings to contain aviation fuel leakage. All fuel pipe and hose connections need cleaning to prevent contamination while you spray penetrating oil on the Fuel Pump module cam-lock ring tang before it gets removed. The service procedure of the Fuel Tank module demands a fresh seal that requires ordering before maintenance begins. Yola for Fuel Pump module retaining ring removal (Tool #J39765-A) enables technicians to separate the Fuel Pump module retention ring successfully. After removing the ring technicians must slowly elevate the Fuel Pump module to disconnect its electrical connection together with suction port tube. You should press down on the tab to disconnect both the suction port attaching tube and the secondary level sensor electrical connector. The float arm of the sending unit can be protected from damage by first lightly elevating the pump module away from its orientation tabs before rotating it by 45 degrees for secondary Fuel Pump module removal. The Fuel Pump module-to-tank seal along with its o-ring must be replaced during removal. Toss out the old seal. For replacement of the fuel level sending unit you should install it to the new Fuel Pump while connecting both the suction port and secondary level sensor electrical connector. Install the replacement secondary Fuel Pump module with its level sender and new Fuel Pump-to-tank seal while orienting the tabs properly before locking the new Fuel Pump ring with the fuel sender lock ring tool (J39765-A). The last step requires reconnecting the evap line quick connect and reattaching the Fuel Tank.
