Gas Filler
I am currently on a road trip with the wife heading east to see what we can see. :)
Anyway, yesterday when I tried to fuel up the little flapper on the "easy fill" thing wouldn't open so I could not get the filler to go in the little hole. I had pre-paid for the gas and so after a few minutes of trying to get it to go in the little flapper finally opened and I was able to fill it up. After I was done filling I removed the filler and tried to put it in and was unable to again. So I can get it to open after fighting with it for a while. Has anybody ever had or heard of this problem before? I'm past warranty so I would rather fix it myself. Thanks for any help. :tup |
Jeez, first Autonut goes south and has issues after power washing his engine, now def has problems with the fuel filler flap. Can anybody take a road trip without something going wrong? lol No help for you, but plenty of sympathy.

I've never seen any problems with them before. Try testing it with the funnel from the trunk. If that works maybe the filler was too small?

I hsvr not heard about the trunk filler so as a last resort I could go that way, however I would possibly have to remove all my luggage to do that.
|
Also I just read online that sometimes a specific gas station may be the problem doe to the nozzle being out of round from someone dropping it or what have you. However if i push it with just my finger the flapper will not open.

Sorry def67,
I can't be any help to you. I just checked mine and it doesn't have the flap in the filler tube. Ford must have changed them between 09 and 10. I'll keep checking online to see what I can come up with for you. |

Thanks for the help guys. Tomorrow we are going to the Mint in Winnipeg, then heading further east hoping to get to one of the great lakes. I will be fueling up sometime tomorrow and Im hoping it was just a bad nozzle at the gas station I was at that was stopping me.
