2000 Lincoln LS Fuel Filler Hose Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What precautions should be taken when servicing the fuel filler hose to avoid personal injury on 2000 Lincoln LS?

  A: The presence of highly flammable mixtures in fuel-related components demands that servicing the fuel filler hose must be done without smoking or carrying open flames since these conditions could result in personal injury. The fuel system pressure needs relief before disconnecting any system components because accidental fuel spraying can occur. Detach the battery ground cable before you reduce fuel system pressure down to a level below tank half capacity. Begin by unscrewing the fuel filler cap and then the fuel filler neck housing bolts. You need to lift your car while unscrewing and removing the right rear inner wheel well pin-type retainers that attach the splash shield using screws. The procedure begins with unbolting the filler pipe followed by loosening its hose clamp at the fuel tank filler pipe area before disconnecting the pipe while draining residual fuel into a suitable container. The filler pipe needs to be extracted through the wheel well opening as the last step. The replacement process starts with a reverse order of removal procedures while using Ford specification ESE-M99B144B lubricant to facilitate easier installation into the fuel tank filler pipe end. Abnormal vehicle symptoms may appear after battery reinstallation because the car needs time to relearn its adaptive behavior while you need to drive for at least 16 km (10 miles) to complete this process.
