2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty Fuel Filler Hose Parts Q&A

• Q: What safety precautions should be taken when servicing the fuel filler hose and auxiliary fuel tank on 2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty?

  A: The safety of servicing fuel filler components requires you to keep smoking and open flames at least a safe distance from fuel containers since highly flammable fuel mixtures exist. A safety precaution includes relieving fuel system pressure since disconnecting components may lead to dangerous fuel spraying that creates fire risks. First place the vehicle in neutral on a hoist while disconnecting the battery ground cable. The fuel tank requires draining until the liquid reaches the middle point below the opening before releasing the clamp and detaching the vent hose at the fuel tank inlet. You must remove the fuel tank filler cap and tighten three upper retaining screws of the fuel tank filler pipe to 3 Nm (27 lb-in) when reattaching these components. The procedure ends with removal of the fuel filler pipe assembly followed by the backward installation of all components.
