2000 Mercury Cougar Fuel Filler Hose Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How should you service the fuel filler hose while ensuring safety on 2000 Mercury Cougar?

  A: It is essential to practice fuel hose servicing safely by staying away from both smoking activities and open flame near the tank components since these areas contain highly combustible vapors. Start by removing the fuel tank filler cap then loose the wheel nuts on the right-hand rear side of the vehicle. First raise and support the vehicle then you can take off both the wheel and the fender splash shield. To begin you should take out the fuel tank while lowering the rear suspension crossmember halfway. The fuel vapor tube requires detachment from the fuel filler pipe through cable tie cutting and tube clip detachment followed by removing the vapor tube. Separate the lower bolt from the center bolt of the fuel filler pipe and detach the ground cable. Conclude the process by taking off the fuel filler pipe. Once you finish replacing the fuel filler hose you need to do the installation by undoing all steps of removal.
