Q: How to replace the fuel filler hose on Chevrolet Colorado?
A: The first step to replace the Fuel Filler Hose requires draining part of the fuel from the tank until its level falls below the hose opening. The driver should raise and support the vehicle to reach the Fuel Filler Hose through the wheelhouse liner before removing the left pickup box wheelhouse liner. First unfasten the bolt which maintains the Fuel Filler Hose ground strap to the frame. Then disconnect the Fuel Filler Hose from the Fuel Tank. The installation of a new Fuel Filler Hose begins with disconnecting the evap hose from the filler vent tube then removing the Fuel Filler Hose screws before extracting the hose out of the vehicle. You must install a cover onto the revealed Fuel Tank opening. After uncapping the Fuel Tank position the Fuel Filler Hose to the fender and install the Fuel Filler Hose screws while tightening them to two n.m (18 lb in). Install the Fuel Filler Hose to the Fuel Tank by securing it using a Fuel Filler Hose clamp with force of 2.5 n.m (22 lb in). Secure the evap hose to the filler vent tube through the bolt which also anchors the Fuel Filler Hose ground strap to the frame by tightening it to 9 n.m (80 lb in). After refilling the Fuel Tank lower the vehicle then put on the fuel fill cap before searching for any fluid seepage.
Q: How to replace the fuel filler hose on Chevrolet S10?
A: Begin the Fuel Filler Hose replacement by disconnecting the negative Battery Cable followed by removal of the fuel filler pipe. Start by draining fuel until it sits lower than the fuel fill opening before you clean the vent hose point at the Fuel Tank and remove the vent hose along with its clamp . The next step involves cleaning the Fuel Filler Hose connection on the Fuel Tank before disconnection of both hose components and the clamp. The Fuel Tank must receive sealing caps to stop unwanted infiltration. Installation requires removal of Fuel Tank caps followed by fuel hose connection to the tank with clamp tightening to 1.7 n.m for the vent hose and 2.5 n.m for the fuel fill hose. The process ends with installation of the filler pipe followed by refilling the system and installing the cap before Battery Cable reconnection and leak inspection.
Q: How to replace the Fuel Filler Hose on the 2500 Series on Chevrolet Tahoe?
A: The first step to replace the filler pipe of the 2500 series Fuel Tank involves removing the rear Fuel Tank. Start by unfastening the chassis wiring harness ground bolt as well as the left rear lamp ground wire and fill pipe ground strap which mounts to the frame. First disconnect the rear axle vent hose clip from the fill pipe neck. Then loosen the Fuel Tank fill hose clamp located at the front tank while removing the fuel fill hose evaporative emission (EVAP) line quick connect fitting from the Fuel Tank line. Start by removing the front tank fuel fill hose together with the integral clamp secured to the crossmember before you disassemble the fuel fill hose/pipe assembly. Gas contamination will be prevented by using caps on both the Fuel Tank's opening and the fuel and evap lines' open ends. The replacement process for any serviceable component of the fill pipe assembly starts with separating it by unbonding the evaporative emission canister hose followed by unclamping the canister hose clamp and Fuel Tank fill pipe clamp and removing the fill pipe housing bolts then dismantling the fill pipe housing and fill pipe restrictor plus the fill pipe clamp and vent hose and fill hose clamp before releasing the canister hose clip and fill pipe. The assembly process requires torquing the Fuel Tank fill hose clamp to 2.5 nm (22 lb in) as well as tightening the fill pipe , canister hose clip , fill hose clamp to 2.5 nm (22 lb in), vent hose , fill pipe clamp to 2.5 nm (22 lb in), fill pipe restrictor , fill pipe housing , fill pipe housing bolts to 2.3 nm (20 lb in), fill pipe clamp to 2.5 nm (22 lb in), and canister hose clamp to 2.5 n start installation by removing protective covers from both ends of the front Fuel Tank and fuel/evap tubes before adding the fuel fill hose/pipe component and securing the front tank hose connection. Fasten the quick connect fitting between the Fuel Tank line and fuel fill hose evap line while tightening the Fuel Tank fill hose clamp to 2.5 nm (22 lb in). Install the integral clamp to the crossmember and attach the rear axle vent hose clip to the fill pipe neck. The fill pipe ground strap needs to be placed at the left rear lamp ground wire before attaching both to the frame and inserting the chassis wiring harness ground bolt with 9 nm (80 lb in) torque. The last step includes reinstalling the rear Fuel Tank.
