Adding gas with gas can

[Mike]

Probably a dumb question but what’s the trick? All my other vehicles are older and you just open the gas cap and pour. Easy. This truck, I spill gas everywhere cause of the flaps.

Long sharp knife and pliers. Cut the center piece (flap) out. Make it a straight tube. Won’t hurt anything.

Edit: I am talking about the whit plastic fill tube that comes with the truck, not the flap to the gas tank. sorry.

Does anybody read the owner's manual besides me?

Get this at a parts store or amazon.DON,T cut the flaps out!look in the truck all over,should be one in the truck.

the Ford supplied funnel is pathetic grab an aftermarket one. they are usually labeled for Ford capless.

What’s an Owners Manual ?

where would they have stashed the funnel ?

and why complicate filling the tank with those stupid flaps

 

[Gpp]

My funnel was under the front seat.i also doubt there is any difference in a ford gas funnel or aftermarket.i,ve used both with no problems

wonder the cost of repairing a modified capless fuel filler when the dealer refuses to warranty repair the resulting check engine light.
is a $5 funnel to much?

How often are you really going to use the funnel? Look for the one in your truck maybe behind the back seat or buy one. Keep it under the rear seat and use it the once or twice a year you might have to.

Yes, try using the supplied funnel.

Twice a month we use 5 gallon cans to add fuel to our vehicles. Using a funnel is not difficult.

Found the funnel; glovebox, under the Owners Manual.

I get that it’s not hard to use but Why did they have to make something simple one step harder. What’s the benefit

 

[Mike]

Ok so the benefit is it’s one step easier st the gas station. Guess I never saw this as something that needed simplification
