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!

Calling it a "Capless" system is raycist. You also sexually assaulted it's pronouns ramming that fuel filler so violently in & out so many times like you did.
I wanna meet the Ford executive that approved that design.
I gave you the thumbs up. But I do like the convenience of my capless fuel filler on the Focus!
Would an evap leak like this mess with fuel trims values
The capless wonder. It looks like a sure way to get a lot of dirt in the fuel system.
You can buy a gas cap for ten bucks on ebay for this system
Perfect
I’ve had my doubts about those cap less fuel filler systems every since they started using them… Glad to see how to do a quick fix/clean on them
lol nice touch with the easy fuel funnel with all that smoke
Looks like a dirt trap – one of the filler cap's prime jobs is keeping dirt out. Dumb engineering.
wow crap design award winner there.
gonna use this video to teach sex ed
That is why I have Mohawk lifts
What better way to educate myself while also laughing my ass off! 👏👏👏👍👍👍
What kind of spray did you use to lubricate the seals?
I have never felt so violated
For years I struggled with how to get that gas cap off. I would always have to ask the attendant to assist me. It made me feel like….. an ASS!
Poop n laughter not grins and giggles
The cap-less filler tube is the kind of idea engineers come up with when they're really high. Do us all a favor and lay-off the mushrooms
For my own personal car, I'd clean it a couple of times… then lose my temper with it, rip it out and put something with an actual cap on there instead. You're right, that is an absolutely awful design. All brought about so some lazy sod doesn't have to remember to screw something back on until it goes click.
What kind of spray are you using?
imagine paying some guy to jack off your fuel cap
have a fusion…same code. shop said it was charcoal canister…smoke test ect…wanted thousands…I replaced the purge valve and fixed it….known problems with the capless tanks on those cars
I have been putting up with this issue since I bought by 2012 Fusion used in early 2013. Got a scan tool just for clearing the check engine light. It's the only reason my light has come on every few months. I know it's the EVAP leak because the light sets as soon as you turn the key and the engine runs fine. Load up on WD-40 and keep the filler area clean.
Purge solenoids are incredibly common on these 2.5s (and alot of newer Fords mostly the 3.5 and 3.7 ) too, I thought for sure you'd end up finding it to be sticking open.
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.
I put a
Stant 10524 Locking Fuel Cap on it and it keeps the dirt out and never had a issue.
i wish you were in virginia, seems like no ones heard of it or can’t fix it 🤦🏽♂️
Good afternoon I have a 2010 Town and Country Touring am getting a Gas Cap code P0456, how can I result this issue
Honestly,, I have never heard of a capless system. Guess I'm getting old. Still like my old points and plugs Ford truck. Can let it sit for a couple years, and it still starts. Gotta have straight gas though. Ethanol wrecks the power valves in the carb.
2 words describe the manufacturer move to "easy fill" gas holes. "Revenue Stream!"
ford fix or repair daily. total junk. trade it in for a toyota.
They were only made for race cars .For the average car ,they should have a cap.
Mr. O says that the 2010 Fusion will be in the crusher at 14 years…I have a 2012 Fusion and hope I can get 14+ years out of it. I love this car and want it to last as long as possible!!
Is it still possible to syphon gas on a car with a capless gas tank ?
What was the spray you used? I have the exact same issue with my car and want to fix it so I can get my car smogged and not fail
100% money back guarantee that they went to the capless system because people kept forgetting to put the cap back on 🤨
Hey there,
I have a 2016 ford fusion se with 75k mileages. I am having the same problem. Engine light came up with p0456 emissions evap leak. After the light came up after couple week I started having problem starting the car everytime I fill up gas. I have to start 5 times and hit gas paddle in order to start the car. I really need help! If anyone can explain me and how much would It cost to fix? Is both of the problem related to eachother? Much appreciated!
I'm surprised he didn't go into an anti government rant over the gas cap
cant you put a filler neck on with a cap on it ?
My brother, what kind of testing and programming devices you use in the workplace?
Красавчик 👍
Was not expecting porn!
The owner needs to keep that area behind the fuel filler door CLEAN! Accumulated dirt can easily get through and cause problems. NEVER had a problem with the capless fuel filler system on my 2010 Taurus that I've owned since new because I clean around the nozzle area and behind the gas door regularly. That customer's car is filthy!
No not location related. Just had to do the same with Daughter's Tarsus in NC. Fixed the problem and the Check Engine Light cleared up. Dealership wanted $600 to replace the filler neck. For that, I will clean the filler every few months as necessary. NOT one of FORD's better ideas (as is the elimination of spare tires).
Hey i have a 2012 ford fusion and it has been dying for no reason. No check engine light is on it just cuts off. Any ideas what's wrong with it????
Step one foot ragan capless fuel tank step to light it
Great video. I own a 2012 Ford Fusion SEL andnd I purchased a fuel plug and it helps keep the fuel port clean. Also, when washing the car it helps to wash the area inside fuel door which helps to cut down on dirt accumulation.
I wonder what cost more manufacturing a gas cap, or engineering and making the "capless" system, I'd think a cap is cheaper.
Strange thing is Ford makes a fuel cap as an accessory for the capless system 🤨
