2009 Buick Lucerne Fuel Filler Hose Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the fuel filler hose on 2009 Buick Lucerne?

  A: Begin replacement of the Fuel Filler Hose by draining the Fuel Tank when needed to reach a lower level than the hose. The technician should remove the liner from the left wheel house and clear the fuel fill pipe and evap line connections using compressed air to remove dirt and debris. You must loosen the fuel fill hose clamp installed on the fill pipe before removing the fuel fill hose from this pipe. The next step requires removal of both the Fuel Tank evap recirculation line quick connect fitting from the fill pipe line and the fuel fill pipe ground strap bolt and disconnecting the fill pipe vent line quick connect fitting from the evap canister. To access the fill pipe for the Fuel Tank start by lowering the vehicle then eliminating the grommet from the pocket opening followed by removing the fill pipe through that opening. Put the fuel fill pipe through the pocket opening and mount the Fuel Tank fill pocket opening grommet afterward by making sure all 4 retaining tabs securely engage. Then you can begin by elevating the vehicle while connecting the fill pipe vent line quick connect fitting to the evap canister. Secure the ground strap on its bracket while tightening the fuel fill pipe ground strap bolt to 9 nm (80 lb in). The technician should clean away all dirt from the fill pipe until it reaches its designated install depth while the fill pipe bead extends beyond the area where the clamp would sit. Use the quick connect fitting to link the Fuel Tank evap recirculation line to the fill pipe line before you attach the fuel fill hose to the fill pipe and tighten its clamp to 4 nm (35 lb in). The left rear wheel house liner goes back into position while checking the Fuel Tank fill pocket opening grommet to verify its complete body seat. Follow these steps to inspect the fuel leaks after reconnecting the battery cable negative terminal by checking the ignition with engine off for two seconds, then waiting ten seconds with ignition off and rechecking ignition followed by vehicle inspection. Put on the last piece by installing the intake manifold cover.
