With the capless system, Ford said, a spring-loaded door seals the fuel tank and no fumes escape while the car is being filled.

I understand Ford will be phasing in starting in 2008.
This I've got to see, sure hope it doesn't turn into maintenance pain or umpteen recalls?

I know the OBD II evap leak codes have showing up more and more.

Did a google on capless fuel systems all kinds of dinguses!

Public: Ford needs to concentrate more on the designs of their vehicles.

Ford: Hey yall, lets fix up dem der gas caps with this here nifty design.

What a concept

But it looks good on the envirogreenie side of things. A fuel system that doesn't let out gas fumes when fueling? Hey, we're helping the enviruhment!

How many are familiar with left lane site?

already standard on the Ford GT, its a pretty slick setup and I'm glad its trickling down into the rest of the fleet.

Great post.

Does sound like a neat design but I think it might cause some problems. Didn't Pontiac do that with the Aztec?
