• Q: How to replace the Fuel Level Sensor assembly on 2006 Buick Rendezvous?

  A: The replacement process for the Fuel Level Sensor assembly begins with extraction of the Fuel Tank then removal of Fuel Level Sensor module electric connections along with the unfastening of fuel pipes while handling the assembly with extreme care to protect fuel pipe joints. A Fuel Level Sensor lock ring wrench (J 45722) with a long breaker-bar should be used to unscrew the Fuel Level Sensor lock ring through a counterclockwise motion while avoiding any lock ring damage and abstaining from using impact tools because substantial torque is needed for removal. The first step involves taking out the Fuel Level Sensor lock ring along with the Fuel Level Sensor from the Fuel Tank while discarding the Fuel Level Sensor seal and removing the Fuel Level Sensor from the Fuel Level Sensor module. Check the lock ring flatness with a feeler gauge at seven points; replace the lock ring if warpage measured value exceeds 0.016 inches (0.41 millimeters). To install the sensor properly the Fuel Level Sensor requires attachment to the Fuel Level Sensor module then cleaning of the sealing flange and placing a new Fuel Level Sensor seal without oil inside the Fuel Tank seal groove. The installation process begins with fitting the Fuel Level Sensor lock ring through the use of the Fuel Level Sensor lock ring wrench (J 45722) for clockwise rotation before securing the Fuel Level Sensor and reconnecting both fuel pipes and electrical connectors to the tank.
