  A: The replacement of the Fuel Tank filler pipe requires a cleaning process for both fuel connections and evaporative emission (EVAP) counterparts followed by cleaning the neighboring areas to stop contamination. Begin by emptying fuel pressure from the system before removing fuel fill pipe screws within the fuel filler pocket. Lift the vehicle while maintaining it in position before removing the bracket bolt which holds the fill pipe to the underbody rail. Start the replacement process by detaching the evap line from its bracket and then unscrewing the fuel fill pipe clamp located at the Fuel Tank and finally pulling out the fuel fill pipe hose from the Fuel Tank. The vent pipe quick connect fitting which connects to the Fuel Tank vent pipe quick connect fitting must be disconnected. At the same time remove the Fuel Tank fill pipe. Installation begins with fitting in the Fuel Tank fill pipe first and then attaching Fuel Tank fill pipe hose onto the Fuel Tank . Following the installation of the fuel fill pipe hose onto the Fuel Tank, the vent pipe quick connect fitting must join to the Fuel Tank vent pipe quick connect fitting while the Fuel Tank clamp requires tightening to 2.5 n.m (22 lb in). Place the evap line onto the bracket and tighten the fill pipe bracket bolt onto the underbody rail until it reaches 13 n.m (115 lb in).
