In this video I have a look at a 2012 Ford Fusion that is throwing a code P0456 Very Small EVAP Leak. We know one thing for sure it is not the gas cap because it doesn't have one!? Orrrr is it.... -Enjoy!

Growing up I had a capless filler neck. Usually just stuffed a rag in it. Didn't realize I was ahead of my time!

@roadkill5333 5 лет назад

A rag in place of the cap?? We refer to those as fuses, or Molotov cocktails!! :)

HA! Brought back memories, Robert! People would always ask me why I had a rag sticking out from behind my rear license plate on the ol' '85 Monte Carlo.😂

@davidnull5590 5 лет назад

Molotov cocktail? His name was Vyacheslav Molotov, or "Hammer", he was the Soviet Minister of Foreign Affairs (1939-1949), not a nice guy. In 1939-1940 the gracious Soviet Union invaded Finland. During the Soviet invasion invasion Molotov claimed the Soviet Union was not dropping bombs on Finland, but merely airlifting food to starving Finns. The Finns were not starving, and they dubbed the Soviet cluster bombs "Molotov's bread basket." The Finns also named the improvised incendiary device that they used to counter Soviet tanks, commonly known as the Molotov cocktail, "a drink to go with the food." Thank you Comrade Molotov! In 1942 Molotov started and headed the Soviet atomic bomb building program in competition with the Manhattan Project. We have Comrade Molotov to thank for the beginnings of Soviet nuclear weapons and that darling Cold War.

@troyfordguy1345 5 лет назад

Pro-tip: To prevent this on ALL Ford vehicles equipped with the Capless fuel filler work the gas pump filler gun in and out a few times after you fill up, this will clear any debris holding the door open. Also use compressed air or canned air if you don't have a compressor to blow out the entrance to the filler once every few months or when you wash your car. I have a 2012 Fusion and have never had an EVAP issue with it.

@froggy0162 3 года назад

My Renault has one and I like it. Every time I drive a “normal” one (such as on my partners Alfa Romeo) the cap seems very old fashioned and fiddly... The Renault design is more of an actual flap and can’t get crap in it like that ....

Aside from cleaning and replacing the filler neck have you come across any diy gasket or plugs to help seal the system? My 09 F150 P0442. Thanks for any feedback.

@notchback93 3 года назад

@@Sheeeeeeeeeeeeiiitt hey brother in my experience your code p0442 could be caused by multiple things inside of your evap system, cleaning the cap less neck is just the most common and least expensive thing to attack first unfortunately if that didn’t solve the issue the next step is to have the system smoke tested to determine where your leak is, there are other components that fail in that system but any of those would just be a guess on my part. Hope this helps you.

@chriskatanic8080 5 лет назад

I was told that capless filler necks are to reduce fuel vapors escaping to the atmosphere when refueling. Every time you take the cap off or remove the filler nozzle the vapors escape. With this design the vapors are captured by the gas pump nozzle and it seals quicker when you remove the nozzle. I assume that all filler necks will eventually use this design. Hopefully manufacturers improve the design!

It’s not a salt belt thing. Fixed my wife’s the same way and it’s been in Texas it’s whole life. I used a screwdriver to hold it open and clean/condition the rubber with silicone spray. Then hit with the funnel like you did. There’s an anti theft cap for these to seal off dirt, but you can also use a ford ranger upper tube with a cap and adapt it to the car.

@garypoisson4173 5 лет назад

Had an old '74 Honda Civic like that, with a filler door. Stopped for gas on a road trip and put the cap on the rear bumper trim panel. Filled up, closed the door and moved on. 350 miles later stopped for gas again, and uh-oh - no gas cap behind the filler door. However it was still sitting on the bumper trim panel. Somehow it stayed there without falling off for 350 miles.

@bulldogsv2 4 года назад

Same problem for the same car. It should have been a recall (one of many) for this model. Tried the one handed method, and it worked - until next time you got gas. I replaced all 4 feet of the fuel filler neck, since you can't just replace the flap assembly. Later models had an exterior door flap that closed with magnets and kept the dirt out (you are right about this being a N. E. geographical problem). Now find a 2012 Fusion with intermittent air conditioning PROBLEM (blows hot as a heater, and then it's fine). Fix Or Repair Daily.

Load up on WD-40 and keep the filler area clean.

As for the usefulness, anything that can save some hassle when I'm filling my car up in a freezing cold Canadian winter seems like a win to me. And there does appear to be an outer sealing gasket on mine to keep the dust out when the door is closed, so I'm not worried about dust or dirt getting in there.

My car actually threw the same code a few days ago. (this is not an advertisement but) I bought the Blue Driver ODB scanner to see what the code was. Yes, it was the Evap code (slow leak). Spoke to my Mechanic, he told me most likely this is a fuel cap issue (no my car is not fuelless, or capless ;-)) he told me he could take it in and smoke it just like you did. I did exactly what this video did, I used some wd 40 to clean the fuel cap seal and cleared the code, and no problem. Even though this repair did cost me 90 bucks (the cost of the ODB scanner) I really feel it was a good investment in my tool kit. Lemur is the Canadian company that updates the android app/database for vehicles. Maybe the South Main Channel could purchase one of these and see how they compare to the professional scanners. This scan tool felt pretty professional to me ... but then what do I know.. To take from a great mechanic on line, the South Main Channel "Remember if I can do it, so can you"
