Well we did save about 5 seconds of our life every fill up. That adds up over the life of a vehicle and a gas cap is so old school it needed to be modernized. 😜 My 2011 Fusion is leaking gas during a fill up. I think it’s it either the rubber at the tank or where it meets the filler tube. This video at least helps me get there.
This is the closest vid I can find for what I need although this isn’t my exact problem. My 2010 has gas leaking from the rusted fuel tank on passenger side. The new fuel tank just arrived so I’m gonna install it this weekend. I’m guessing just remove rear seat bottom then fuel pump from up top? Then remove straps underneath and drop it down to detach filler neck?
Hi - I have a PO455 code - local shop recommended replacing the canister vent value, the canister purge solenoid, and the filler neck. This seems to be a shotgun approach to me - as opposed to determining which one has a problem... do you agree? How did you decide to replace the filler pipe vs. the other parts?
I had a similar issue with my 2012 Escape 2.5L, I went to AutoZone for the code read and they recommended all 3 items... I decided to start with the cheapest and easier thing to replace... maybe in a few months or later I would end un replacing the fill tube too.
Thank you for the video. How would you replace the filler tube if you have all wheel drive? I have this problem on my 2012 MKZ but it’s all wheel drive and can’t get access to the hose clamps.
How about that little vent hose that parallels the upper portion of the tube? Can't dirt just get in that easily and be the basis for the recurring issue? Seems like it should be a one way valve or at least filtered somehow.
Great Vid I just have something to add for the 6 cyl fusion I found it necessary to drop the rear exhaust as the pipes are in the way, Just pop out the 3 rubber hangers and let it hang down about 10 inches supported of course but it still only took me about 45 minutes to do the whole job. thank you again
As always, great video! On my Dad's 09 F-150 his spring loaded door is broken like the one from this video? Would he be ok to just replace the door and maybe clean the filler neck (as per your cleaning video) or should the filler neck be swapped as well?
hey great video man, lots of your videos have been helping me alot. I need to replace the filler pipe on my 2010 fusion 2.5L, where do you suggest I get the part from?
ATTENTION 2013-2020 LINCOLN MKZ OWNERS: For a fuel door only fix, look up "How To Fix Broken/Flappy Ford Mustang Gas Cap Door (May work for other Ford models!)" It's a pretty similar fix on the MKZ although I would suggest taking the wheel well liner out and unbolting the fuel filler neck (torx screw holding in shiny pipe) so you can push the gas door from the back and move the fuel filler neck easily. This will also make the evap line easier to pull out. The MKZ fuel door is wide so you will want the extra wiggle room.
You mentioned in another video that the new 2014 fill system has a better seal. Can the 2014 fuel door & filler neck be used instead to prevent future problems?
Honestly you can stick a flat head at those clamps and pull it out. He went under the wheel to make sure he can move the pipe if needed but I did this without removing my wheel. I didn’t need to adjust the pipe much only a couple inches a screw didn’t get in the way of that.
The connecter for my vent tube is badly rusted. I want to replace the whole assembly. Is it possibly to reach up In there and pulled everything out without removing other parts?
How is the "filler pocket" door done on a '13 and newer ? I read elsewhere that you can't access the release tabs from the wheel well anymore, but from the trunk, but they're not very accessible.
What is the part number for the Gas Door Housing (comes with spring) on 2012 Ford Fusion Hybrid? And how many miles do you replace the neck, if has no codes?
What part # do you use for the filler neck on the 2012 ford fusion sport, and what is the cost. What is the cost of the door and what part number did you use for the 2012 ford fusion sport? How many hours overall should this service take? I was quoted 1.7 hours. I was quoted $189.00 for the filler neck pipe.
hey bud I have a 2010 ford explorer. looks like someone shoved something into the hole pushing the whole locking mechanism further down the filler neck. whats the part number for the whole neck and the plastic housing?
So my check engine light came on this weekend and I noticed the gas door was loose a few weeks ago so I did what your "Ford Capless Fuel Filler Maintenance" video said to do...but is there a way to fix the spring in the door or do you have to replace the whole spring part of the door? Would it work if I were to put velcro or something on the inside of the door to hold it shut tight? Also you said there were directions and a video on how to reset the check engine light...I can't find them...can you help me with that? Or is it just the whole unhooking the battery procedure?
Industrial grade Velcro will work yes but the door doesn't cost too much that I can remember. All my info is down in the description below all of my videos. Here it is- Clearing codes properly- th-cam.com/video/hZAsoqmqhdM/w-d-xo.html
I also have a Fusion , 2011 SE to be exact . Whenever I try to fill fuel in my car , after I stop fueling it leaks out ... That is the only time it leaks is when I am filling . Is this the part that will fix it ?
It leaks out of the fill spout like the filler nozzle doesn't turn off in time? Can you fill the car up normally or does it keep kicking off. Do you regularly "top off" the tank after the filler auto shut off?
I just purchased a 2012 Lincoln MKZ and the fuel door is just as described herein. So the repair requires the replacement of the entire housing by removal of tire/fender skirt to access from the inside? Wow....with as many failures of this spring as it appears this seems to be a design or manufacturing flaw/shortcoming.....is Ford repairing/replacing as part of a service campaign (-vs- recall) ??? If not, they should. Just checked.....16months left on the bumper-bumper warranty for the MKZ....should be covered. But for those who are not, a campaign should be in place, in my opinion for what it's worth.
I am trying to do this same repair (door replacement) on my 2011 Ford Fusion, however I can not find a replacement part anywhere. I removed the old part and got the part number off of it (9E53-5427936-A) and was only able to find a few used parts on Ebay. Do you have any insight as to where to find the filler pipe housing?
my 2010 ford fusion is burning hella gas i pumped $20 it gave me 267 miles till E.. didnt even go a mile down the road.and it went from 267 to 255..as im driving home witch is 22 miles from my job. it went from 255 to 218.smh what is going on with my car??? its not only reading that.. the gas gauge is going down along with how many miles i have left..please help me solve this issue.. it has 95k miles on it.and i recently replaced the throttle body unit.
Have you done this so it can relearn? How To Clear your PCM'S Memory on Fords After Repairs I would also check this valve- 2009+ Ford Canister Purge Valves Multiple Problems
The factory figured out a way to complicate it so they could make more profit on repairs. Regular gas caps worked just fine for over a hundred years. But then cars worked pretty well without computers & all the electronic bells & whistles. AND they were uncomplicated to where we could work on them ourselves. Which was bad for the dealership mechanics.
Wow,,,, it's such "B/S", how so sophisticated they are making something that should stay so simple. I'll not buy another vehicle,,,, to hell with all this new , way over complicated Bull**it. Mr. I really admire your patience with such stupid B/S.
fuck... i had one last night dude a 2005 grand prix, had p0446, did a purge/seal on evap system and the Fuel tank pressure sensor would go up in inch of merc but would only go down to 6.17 quickly from whatever i put it up to 10+ haha so i did the flat rate thing and tested cap with smoke machine, it was leaking like a whore, so got that done did another purge seal and thats when i noticed the FTPS reading so high yet the cap was just off haha! kick in the ass when you trust electronic's sometimes eh? but this system here is just retarded in my eyes, people shouldnt be that last to remove a cap to put fuel in....holy shit this isnt an emissions warrenty? wow! Gm recalled filler pipes on G vans for emissions hahahaha!
Thanks I tried the other procedures many times with no results. This one is the best yet. Followed your video and it’s finally fixed . Thank you.
Good thing ford came up with this design, those fuel caps sure were tricky XD
Twist off fuel caps worked for over a hundred years. But Ford figured out how to complicate it.
Well we did save about 5 seconds of our life every fill up. That adds up over the life of a vehicle and a gas cap is so old school it needed to be modernized. 😜

+t clement nice thanks.
that sure did the trick! Thanks.

Door and cleaning should do, the F150 is not known for the evap issue at all.
hey great video man, lots of your videos have been helping me alot. I need to replace the filler pipe on my 2010 fusion 2.5L, where do you suggest I get the part from?

Add a locking gas PLUG helps keep junk out of there.....................
You mentioned in another video that the new 2014 fill system has a better seal. Can the 2014 fuel door & filler neck be used instead to prevent future problems?
Will adding the cap stop the P0442 code if it is a small leak at the inlet?
+Jesus Canez I would like the know the answer to this also.
+Jesus Canez Never seen one up close but I am doubtful it has that good of a seal.
Honestly you can stick a flat head at those clamps and pull it out. He went under the wheel to make sure he can move the pipe if needed but I did this without removing my wheel. I didn’t need to adjust the pipe much only a couple inches a screw didn’t get in the way of that.

I have the same year fusion and I use a lot of fuel cleaners and keep the fuel door area clean.
Thanks for this video. I find myself doing this about every year now. Stupid capless design.
How is the "filler pocket" door done on a '13 and newer ? I read elsewhere that you can't access the release tabs from the wheel well anymore, but from the trunk, but they're not very accessible.
Is this the same for the 13 Ford Flex...
Good video

@ 4:08 minutes, does anyone know how to get that heat shield? My car does not have that?
cant you just put a gas cap on it? or do they not seal it from leaking? i just ordered one from ebay for ten bucks
Thanks for the video. My 2011 is doing the same thing.
So my check engine light came on this weekend and I noticed the gas door was loose a few weeks ago so I did what your "Ford Capless Fuel Filler Maintenance" video said to do...but is there a way to fix the spring in the door or do you have to replace the whole spring part of the door?

Looks like the pry tool is one of your favorite tools?
Yes from interior to exterior work they are always in my tool cart great angle and doesn't dig in like other tools it just works.
I have the 2012 ford fusion se with the 2.5 does it have a serviceable fuel filter
Great,informative video. Thanks for taking time.
I also have a Fusion , 2011 SE to be exact . Whenever I try to fill fuel in my car , after I stop fueling it leaks out ... That is the only time it leaks is when I am filling . Is this the part that will fix it ?
Also the check engine light does not come on , so i dont know if its just something else
It leaks out of the fill spout like the filler nozzle doesn't turn off in time? Can you fill the car up normally or does it keep kicking off. Do you regularly "top off" the tank after the filler auto shut off?
Hey man where do I get the filler pipe part for my fusion??
Would this be similar to a 2010 escape 2.5?
Great video man, thanks for putting this out there- saved some $$ DiY- thanks!
Do 2012 ford escape have a fuel filter that can be change?
+Eddie Garcia no it is in tank and lifetime
Ok thanks for the info like your videos very helpful
FordTechMakuloco so that means the life of my 2015 focus is one tank of bad fuel? Wow

tardbuster007 No you can pop these in and out in 10 min car parked no big deal.
FordTechMakuloco so if we're just replacing the door and not the filler pipe do we still have to remove the wheel? Just curious??
does this help eliminate the "Check Fuel Fill Inlet" message that appears on the dash?
Try this first- Quick Tips: #4 Ford Capless Fuel Filler Maintenance
And if this doesn't solve it, then I should just go ahead and do this?
No the more common is the purge valve after the filler pipe seal. What code is it popping?
Thanks for this pretty pretty job.

Nice clear expaination, thank you
Does the tank need to be empty first
no
Is this safe to do with fuel in the tank?
Of course.
my 2010 ford fusion is burning hella gas i pumped $20 it gave me 267 miles till E.. didnt even go a mile down the road.and it went from 267 to 255..as im driving home witch is 22 miles from my job. it went from 255 to 218.smh what is going on with my car??? its not only reading that.. the gas gauge is going down along with how many miles i have left..please help me solve this issue.. it has 95k miles on it.and i recently replaced the throttle body unit.

FordTechMakuloco nope. I'm going to try that this weekend.. Thanks alot I'll let you know how it goes
Thank you so mush I got it done in mins thanks to you
Was turning a gas cap so bad that they had
To even do this in the first place? Bad gas cap you spend 20 dollars and you’re done.
The factory figured out a way to complicate it so they could make more profit on repairs. Regular gas caps worked just fine for over a hundred years.
But then cars worked pretty well without computers & all the electronic bells & whistles. AND they were uncomplicated to where we could work on them ourselves. Which was bad for the dealership mechanics.
You are a great guy nice..
2009 Escape same.
Same code on my mustang. Same fix
Dude- Thank You!
I have a 2011 navigator. Is the process remotely the same?
My filler neck is all one piece of tank is all one piece need to

fuck... i had one last night dude a 2005 grand prix, had p0446, did a purge/seal on evap system and the Fuel tank pressure sensor would go up in inch of merc but would only go down to 6.17 quickly from whatever i put it up to 10+ haha so i did the flat rate thing and tested cap with smoke machine, it was leaking like a whore, so got that done did another purge seal and thats when i noticed the FTPS reading so high yet the cap was just off haha! kick in the ass when you trust electronic's sometimes eh?
but this system here is just retarded in my eyes, people shouldnt be that last to remove a cap to put fuel in....holy shit this isnt an emissions warrenty? wow! Gm recalled filler pipes on G vans for emissions hahahaha!
Evap codes are always fun!
agreed!
