Fuel tank pressure sensor location

Hi Jon,

If you look at the fuel tank, first locate the large filler tube that sends fuel into the tank. Beside it there is a smaller hose. On that line is the sensor you are looking for. If you look at attached pics 1 and 2, I circled and highlighted the component. Pic 3 identifies all the parts in the pictures along with part numbers.

Let me know if this helps.

So, we need to lower the fuel tank to replace the sensor? Would it include the hose assembly? Could you supply us with instructions and pictures for the entire project?

Thanks,

Jon

Hi,

You should be able to replace the tube assembly without removing the tank. Here are the directions I have for the procedure. There are only two pics. One is an exploded view of the system and the other which shows working from the rear wheel well. You will need to remove the right rear tire to do this, so make sure the vehicle is on a level surface and safely and properly supported. And yes, the entire tube gets replaced.
