2005 Lincoln Navigator Fuel Filler Hose Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What Safety Precautions Should Be Taken When Servicing the Fuel Filler Hose on 2005 Lincoln Navigator?

  A: Safety must be maintained during fuel tank filler pipe servicing because highly flammable mixtures exist in that area therefore stay away from fuel-related components while using open flames or smoking. One must purge fuel system pressure prior to disconnecting any fuel tubes or components since this action can prevent fuel spraying that would create a fire hazard. Accurate handling of fuel injection equipment requires clean operations because of its tight tolerance requirements thus the use of blanking plugs is necessary to cover open orifices. Install the vehicle in NEUTRAL position on a hoist and remove the ground cable from the battery as the first step. The first step involves removing the fuel tank filler cap followed by the three screws retaining the filler pipe. The technician should disconnect the fuel tank filler pipe vent tube from the fuel pump module while loosening the hose clamp to take off the fuel tank filler pipe-to-fuel tank hose and detach the vapor tube from the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system dust separator. The technician must tighten the two bolts on the fuel tank filler pipe support bracket to 15 Nm (11 lb-ft) after reinstalling this component. Some additional preparation work includes the removal of the fuel tank filler pipe assembly followed by reverse installation according to the removal steps.
