Fuel Inlet Issue

[DaveG ST]

Need some advice for possible fuel inlet issue. Check engine light came on about a week ago and FordPass indicated it was an emissions issue and recommended checking the the fuel inlet. It explains that the typical fix is to put the fuel funnel in and out of the fuel inlet a few times. I did this and I cleared the code with a scanner. Today, the light came back on and FordPass is indicating the same issue. Anyone have a possible resolution to this issue?

Check valve at fuel inlet is fluttering or not maintaining seal.
Which sets off dtcs
Like aloose gas cap
Look at the seal see if it's damaged

Dave i tagged you on another thread with the part you need.

Yes, thank you. I reviewed that thread and it seems that was for a different code though.

Okay, so even FordPass indicates that this is an emissions issue. I am at 79K miles and ask dealer to fix under the 80k emissions warranty. This dealer has come through for me before, but told me today that I had to pay out pocket, about $600. I said no thanks.

Yeah it’s Evap purge valve, did it myself. A bit of a pain but possible. Fix the code and issue.

You were right, both codes have appeared now.
