2009 Chevrolet Equinox Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the fuel filler hose on 2009 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: Start the fuel filler tube replacement process with a Fuel Tank level of less than one quarter. Draining excess fuel should also be done if required. The process begins with removing the fuel filler cap followed by vehicle elevation and subsequent wheel removal of the right rear along with its tire followed by inner liner removal. Disconnect all components from the Fuel Tank by loosening the fuel filler tube hose clamp then removing the fuel filler tube, fuel filler vent tube, fresh air hose. You should disconnect the fresh air hose from the fuel filler tube after removing the two fuel filler tube bracket bolts while also removing the fuel filler tube together with the closeout grommet away from the vehicle. The installation process begins with connecting the fresh air hose to the fuel filler tube before installing the closeout grommet and correctly placing the fuel filler tube within the vehicle to match with the grommet. Secure the two fuel filler tube bracket bolts at 9 nm (80 lb in) while making sure the Fuel Tank body receives contact from the fuel tube connecting hose and its hose clamp stays no further than 13 mm (1/2 in) from the hose end. Place the filler tube-to-Fuel Tank connecting hose along with its clamp at the desired position then tighten the clamp to 5 nm (44 lb in). Let the system run while installing the fuel filler vent tube along with the fresh air hose before you put back the inner wheelhouse liner and the wheel and tire. Perform the service bay diagnostic test for the evap emission system with the scan tool to verify vapor handling areas of the fuel system while reinstalling the fuel filler cap and lowering the vehicle from the hoist.
