Lock-Off Solenoids (2.2L - Cavalier - CNG): Installation
- To install, reverse removal procedure. Use NEW "O" rings lubricated with petroleum jelly for all applications. Tighten tank strap nuts to 35 ft. lbs. (48 N.m). Tighten HPL to nominal torque of 225 ft. lbs. (305 N.m) at 0 degrees. Torque wrench and HPL crowfoot must be compensated for. To obtain proper dial reading, perform the following:
- Multiply torque wrench length in inches by 305. Example for 18" torque wrench: 18 X 305 = 5490.
- Add 3 to the length of torque wrench. Example for 18" torque wrench: 18 + 3 = 21.
- Divide first value obtained, by second value obtained. The result will indicate amount of torque your wrench should tighten HPL to.
Example for 18" torque wrench: 5490 divided by 21 equals 261.4. An 18" long torque wrench should tighten HPL to 193 ft. lbs. (261.4 N.m).
- Verify alignment of HPL inlet port. Fitting should be at the 3 o'clock position. Adjust tank as necessary. Tank should be located 10.5" (26.7 cm) from left edge of left tank strap. Adjust tank as necessary. Tighten tank strap nuts to 35 ft. lbs. (48 N.m).
- Tighten vent boot clamp to 18 INCH lbs. (2 N.m). Install fuel outlet fitting into HPL. Tighten fitting to 20 ft. lbs. (27 N.m). Install fuel inlet fitting into HPL. Tighten fitting to 35 ft. lbs. (48 N.m). Install FPS into HPL. Tighten fitting to 20 ft lbs. (27 N.m). Install pressure relief device fitting into HPL. Tighten fitting to 35 ft. lbs. (48 N.m).
- Install pressure relief device line and HPL to HPR lines as an assembly. Tighten pressure relief device line fitting to 27 ft. lbs. (37 N.m). Tighten HPL to HPR fuel line fittings to 18 ft. lbs. (24 N.m). Install fill valve to union fill line. Tighten fittings to 27 ft. lbs. (37 N.m). Install union to HPL fill line. Tighten fittings to 27 ft. lbs. (37 N.m).CAUTION: High Pressure Lock-off (HPR) solenoid seal is more likely to leak at a lower fuel pressure. Always perform fuel leak procedure exactly as specified. Failure to follow proper procedures may result in serious injury or damage to vehicle or the part.
- Fill fuel tank in 3 stages as follow: 500 psi, 1500 psi and 3000 psi. Using CNG Leak Detector (J 41416), check for fuel leaks at HPL at EACH pressure. Check for fuel leaks at each serviced fitting. Position 4 hose clamps at vent boot, vent hose and fill valve boot. Install vent boot cover using NEW cover nuts. Tighten NEW vent boot cover nuts to 54 INCH lbs. (6 N.m). Install left side trunk carpet, cargo net knobs and cargo net. Install trunk trim. Attach information label supplied with replacement HPL in a visible location on head of tank. Install spare tire bracket and spare tire bracket bolts. Tighten spare tire bracket bolts to 20 ft. lbs. (27 N.m). Install tank cover.
