2001 Lincoln LS Fuel Filler Hose Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the fuel filler hose on 2001 Lincoln LS?

  A: Proper servicing and repairing of the fuel filler hose begins with safety precautions because highly flammable mixtures are present thus requiring avoidance of open flames and smoking near fuel-related components. First disconnect the battery ground cable then relieve fuel system pressure before proceeding to prevent fuel from spraying by accident. Siphon out fuel until the tank contains no more than 50% contents while taking off the fuel filler cap. The fuel filler neck housing bolts must be taken out first followed by raising the vehicle and removing both pin-type retainers with screws from the right rear inner wheel well splash shield. Start by extracting the bolt located on the filler pipe while you proceed to untighten the hose clamp connected to the fuel tank filler pipe for pipe removal with fuel drainage to an authorized container. The last step involves pulling out the filler pipe via the wheel well opening. Apply a lubricant under Ford specification ESE-M99B144B to the fuel tank filler pipe end before installation while following the reverse order of removal procedures. Following battery reconnects the vehicle will show unusual drive characteristics before it learns its adaptive strategy which needs continuous driving for at least 16 km (10 miles).
