Q: How to Service and Repair the Fuel Tank Filler Neck on a Cadillac Eldorado?
A: Start the replacement of the fuel tank filler pipe housing by opening the fuel filler door and removing its fuel cap. Start the repair by unscrewing the fuel filler door release actuator to the pocket then remove its four fasteners followed by unfastening the pipe retaining three fasteners. You can uninstall the fuel filler pocket by pulling the release cable in the backward direction. Shortly after positioning the fuel filler pocket behind the door latch by pulling on the release cable you must fasten its 4 retaining fasteners to 2 n.m (18 lb in). Tighten the 3 fasteners that connect the filler pipe to the filler pocket up to 1.8 n.m (16 lb in). The next step should be to install the fuel filler door release actuator retaining nut by applying 3 n.m (26.5 lb in). Then stuff in the fuel cap while finishing up by closing the fuel inlet door.
