• Q: How to Replace a Fuel Filler Hose on 2009 Cadillac XLR?

  A: The first step for Fuel Filler Hose replacement involves taking off the fuel filler cap together with the left rear wheelhouse liner panel. You should disconnect both the fuel fill hose and vent hose from the fuel tank fill and vent pipe before applying caps to their open ends. Begin by unplugging the fuel system ground strap then take out the fuel tank fill and vent pipe from its placement in the fuel filler pocket. Begin installing the fuel tank fill and vent pipe by placing it inside the fuel filler pocket before tightening bolt thread to 3.5 nm (31 lb in). Secure the fuel fill pipe ground strap by tightening its bolt to 4.0 nm (35 lb in). Connect the vent hose to the fuel tank fill pipe through the opened fuel fill hose by tightening clamps to 3.5 nm (31 lb in). Put in place the left rear wheelhouse liner panel and the fuel filler cap as the final step.
