Q: How Can You Safely Service and Properly Install the Fuel Filler Hose on Ford Explorer?
A: Service the fuel tank filler pipe with utmost safety by staying away from fuel components both flames and smoking because the region contains volatile mixtures. The procedure for fuel tank repairs requires a cap or tape to cover all liquid and vapor fuel openings but they must be removed before final installation. To start the procedure use neutral mode and place a hoist beneath the vehicle. Take these steps for service on the fuel tank filler pipe by disconnecting the battery ground cable while opening the fuel tank filler cap. Reinstall the fuel tank filler cap bolts using 2 Nm (18 lb-in) torque then tighten each of the three bolts before completion. The two tabs situated on the fresh air vent tube in the fuel filler door pocket must be pressed down to detach it from the inner fenderwell. Commence by disconnecting the fuel pressure sensor vapor tube coupling to the fuel filler pipe vapor tube assembly and then proceed with taking off the rear axle vent hose and the dust separator hose. To remove the fuel tank filler pipe hose, loosen the clamp and disconnect the hose and reinstall it by tightening the clamp to 3 Nm (27 lb-in). Gently tighten the two mounting bolts of the fuel tank filler pipe assembly to 15 Nm (11 lb-ft) torque specifications during the installation process. Complete the installation process by performing the reverse actions of the removal procedure.

Q: What precautions should be taken when servicing the fuel filler hose to prevent fire hazards and personal injury on Ford Ranger?
A: Precautions must be taken when servicing the fuel filler hose because highly flammable mixtures in fuel-related components create a risk for personal injury. Therefore, you must avoid both smoking and carrying any lighted tobacco or open flames while near these components. Thousands of pounds of pressure sustain within the fuel system after shutting off the engine therefore system pressure relief must come first before you disconnect any fuel line or component to stop dangerous fuel spray that creates fire hazards. To prevent accidental fuel spraying you should first reduce system pressure then undo the fuel tank filler pipes by releasing their hose clamps and disconnecting the filler pipes from the hose tubes. Start removal of the fuel tank filler pipe through screw removal. Follow the reverse order of steps used for removal to conduct the installation.
