Ford F150: Check Fuel Fill Inlet Message On Dash

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
I have a look at a 2010 Ford F150 that has a message on the instrument cluster saying, check fuel fill inlet. A. K. A, the gas cap on this capless system. It also has the engine light on with a P0457 (EVAP Gross leak) code stored in it. Before you go throwing a smoke machine on it, make sure and have a look at the purge solenoid

What is with Ford and them needing percussive maintenance lol. Their old IAC was the same way, most times a little tappy tap would get it going for a little bit. I used to keep one on the truck when the town had mostly crown Vic's and I saved tons of people from having to go to a strange shop while on vacation with the tap from my lucky screwdriver. I once bet a guy 20 I'd get his car to keep from stalling in less than a minute. He said he'd give me a 100 if I could, he was shocked when it worked lol. I tried not to take it but he snuck it inside a few singles his wife put in my shirt pocket with a thank you note. Apparently another tow company had been there and was trying to get a tow to PA but didn't have the room for his 84 year old mother and him for the trip.

My 2010 F-150 4. 6 shows that cluster message every once and a while. I end up squirting some oil on the inlet spring (where the fuel nozzle goes) and using the manufacturers supplied funnel to operate (to work in the oil) (I could do this when I fill up and use the fuel nozzle to operate the door) and cleaning the door of debris (this helps seal the system. clear the code with a scan tool and voila. I guess I've been lucky.

Had a sticky purge solenoid on my wife's Corolla like this, I took a gamble and opened it up. Found the seat and pintle were both sticky so I cleaned em and put it back together, problem never came back!

Nice work, thanks for explaining the system. I am UK, and I think we do not have these systems, but always good to learn.
Keep up the good work, you are appreciated.

Excellent tip. the capless sytems notoriously get dirty and won't seal. you reminded us how NOT to get stuck going down the worm hole!

You are about as famous as one can hope for. From another automotive site with a Denali on the rack: I'm not going to Eric O this thing.
