SUBJECT: Rattle / Buzz -Type Sound from Fuel Pipe at Fuel Tank

 

INTRODUCTION:

This bulletin provides a service procedure to address a small number of concerns regarding a rattle / buzz-type sound coming from the fuel tank area.  The sound may occur due to a slight deformation of the plastic fuel tank in the area (Area A shown in the illustration below) where a plastic fuel delivery pipe is secured.  If the tank does not hold the pipe securely, the rattle / buzz may result from clearance between the tank and pipe.

 

PART INFORMATION:

An EPT Foam Seal Kit, p.n. 63599AJ010 is required.

REMINDER:  Always order the most up-to-date replacement parts based on the specific VIN being repaired.

NOTES:

  • This procedure can be performed without lowering or removing the fuel tank assembly by removing the rear seat cushion and fuel pump / level sensor access cover.

Step 4) CAREFULLY refit the fuel pipe back into position on the tank.  Peel the backing an apply the one Size B foam piece over top of the fuel pipe and in between the two Size A foam pieces as shown below.

 

Step 5)  Reinstall the fuel the fuel pump / level sensor access cover and rear seat cushion in reverse order of removal to complete the procedure.
