How do you replace a 1995 ford contour fuel door?

Answer 1

To replace the fuel door in the Contour- take out the bold that holds on the fuel cap. Go under the car and follow the black thick tube from the gas tank up to twhere the fuel door is located. This tube is about one inch thick. You need to reach up in the rear panel and pull off the hose. This is some sort of ventalation hose. After disconecting that hose, you need to take off the gas cap, I recomment putting clean rag in the gas pipe. Then turn the entire assembly counter clock wise. You may need to really push hard to get the door and housing to turn. Once it turns about an inch, then work the door and housing out, (start pulling on the back side first, then work toward the front of the car. It is a tight fit. Once that is out, just do the reverse for the new door to finish the install. Takes about 10 minutes. Good Luck.
