Simple Innovation: Ford's Easy Fuel System
Dumb idea. How to take a simple $1 cap and make it into a $300 headache. Speaking from experience when it fails you can't fill the gas tank making you car into a 3,000lb paper weight.
question about this, i have a 2010 explorer and i too have the easy fuel system, not a fan of it but i can live with it. anyways.. the plastic/rubber part that sits around the no cap part, what is it called? is there a replacement, the rubber tore and is loose & would like to see if I can avoid having to go to the dealer....
Other than that, a typical "Why didn't I think of that?" innovation, very nice!
My point is there must be something else than meets the eye in this Easy Fuel system. Capless refuel is nothing new.
Yes people do steal gas.. especially when it's only going to go up. Also prevents people from putting crap down your tank if they want an easy revenge!!
