• Q: How to Service and Repair the Fuel Filler Hose on 2006 Lincoln LS?

  A: Service and repair tasks for the fuel tank filler pipe must start with the vehicle in NEUTRAL position on a hoist. Set the fuel tank filler cap on the side while removing it from the tank. The three mounting screws for the fuel tank filler pipe need removal but must be tightened at 2 Nm (18 lb-in) before installation. The service operation on the fuel tank filler pipe involves first removing the right rear inner fender well splash shield followed by loosening the fuel tank filler pipe mounting bolt that requires 9 Nm (80 lb-in) torque when put back. The fuel filling tube will contain residual fuel following the fuel tank emptying process therefore drain the remaining fuel carefully into a labeled container. Extract the fuel tank filler pipe from the hose before removing it out of the fuel tank. The install process requires the end of the fuel tank filler pipe to be lubricated with clean engine oil followed by reversing the removal process.
