2007 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 fuel tank filler pipe on 2007 Ford F-350 Super Duty?

  A: The fuel filler hose and fuel tank filler pipe after the axle require careful servicing since their highly flammable mixtures demand the exclusion of smoking along with open flames within the vicinity. The process of relieving fuel system pressure is mandatory before any component removal in order to stop fuel spraying occurrences. Start by lifting the vehicle to a hoist in neutral position and disconnect the ground cable from the battery. The fuel tank requires draining until it reaches half-level before releasing the clamp to detach the filler pipe vent hose while tightening it to 4 Nm (35 lb-in) when reinstalling the hose. Disconnect and remove the fuel tank filler cap as well as the three upper retaining screws of the fuel tank filler pipe and re-torque them to 3 Nm (27 lb-in) upon reinstallation. The final step entails taking out the fuel filler pipe assembly then following the removal process in reverse to install everything.
