EZ Fill Gas Cap Available?
 
I have a 2005 F-150 scab & would like to install a fuel cap that doesn't require removal & I found a couple that specifically state they're not legal in OR (where I live), WA & CA. I had an Escape & a Flex with that style & they're a lot easier to use and since I spend 5 - 6 months in the SW during the wet season at home it's strictly a convenience for me because I can't pump my own gas in OR.

OR & NJ - the last two holdouts for no self-service with the exception of some very small towns in OR after the station closes for the night.

we have a closed fuel system.. not sure if that would work out...

won't work on the older trucks. You will keep throwing EVAP codes

Thank You!

One more disappointment in life - :cry:

Gas caps are not that hard to take off buddy.

Up there, I would think that having an actual cap would be beneficial. Keeps moisture out of the fuel.

Not so much when you're disabled but I didn't want to bring that into the conversation.

Oh well - I'll live with it,

I hear you buddy.. but, if you cant remove a gas cap.. maybe you should not be driving.

If you cannot pump your own gas, why does it matter if it's a regular cap or not? Or am I not understanding this correctly?

After coming from a 2015 f150 to a 2004.... though the gas cap might not be hard to remove, it is just something else to worry about. (string breaking, the cap its self breaking) It is super nice not having one. Just for convince if nothing more. My .02.

When I'm at home in Oregon their stupid state law prevents me from pumping my own gas but I spend 5 - 6 months/yr in AZ so it's not a problem. I don't NEED an E Z Fill cap - I simply wanted to know if one was available for my truck.

Re: whether or not I should be driving b/c I asked about a gas cap - that has to be one of the dumbest things I've heard in a long time.

Except for the butt load of fuel filters and tanks that need dropped on our work trucks that don't have caps... you'd be amazed what can make its way in there... so much for hosing out the gas cap every time the truck is washed....

Now work trucks... those a different. The necessities are 4x4 and a radio! Keep it simple!

This capless thing is one of the stupidest things Ford has come up with, especially in conjunction with a non-serviceable fuel filter. Ranks right up there with electric power steering and aluminum bodies.
