  Q: How Should You Safely Service the Fuel Filler Hose on Lincoln Zephyr?

  A: Silicon practice must be followed for fuel tank filler pipe servicing because lighted tobacco and personal electronic equipment requirements should be maintained away from fuel-related components which contain highly flammable mixtures. Alleviate the danger of electrical sparks by disconnecting the Battery Cable from its ground connection. To avoid accidental fuel spray while servicing components one must first discharge fuel system pressure. Start by placing the vehicle in neutral on the hoist and follow it up with releasing fuel system pressure before grounding the battery cable. Start by unplugging the fuel tank filler pipe cap followed by the three retaining screws surrounding the pipe. Begin by removing the vapor tube from the fuel door pocket and then the three nuts securing the heat shield before installation by tightening them to 9 Nm (80 lb-in). The bracket retaining nut requires removal before installation while you should tighten it to 9 Nm (80 lb-in). The two vapor tube retaining clips must be released followed by disconnection of the filler pipe hose from the fuel tank while tightening to 4 Nm (35 lb-in) during hook-up. To finish the installation task the vehicle must be without the fuel tank filler pipe assembly. Return to the removal procedure steps for assembly placement.
