Ford Fusion code P1450 - Unable to Bleed Fuel Tank Vaccum - DIY fix

In this video I show how to fix a Ford with P1450 code - Fuel System excess Pressure code (Unable to Bleed Fuel Tank Vaccum). The Purge valve needs to be replaced, they come attached with many hoses, so all of them need to be replaced. Different FORD's have different Purge Valve's in the engine bay, slightly different replacement technique, but overall same concept.

I did that a few months back, and yeah, this job is a giant pain just because of that one connector. I couldn't get the new one to snap on, just too tight of a space to get enough leverage. I ended up getting it started and them got a bout a 14" flat headed screwdriver with a wide, flat head and pushed against the connector leering against the alternator. A few pushes and it snapped on fully. That saved me some scrapes and scratches. This job still leaves you a little bloody though; that connector is really in an awful spot and you have to job your arm against some pretty sharp stuff like those little hose clamps.

ya i have a 2017 im working on and i replaced everything that was recommended and still did not fix the p1450 so i took it to a local repair shop were they replace the fuel tank psi sensor no problems ever since .. thank you for this video. 2017 ford 1.5 turbo Fusion

[@sootspiritgremlin]

How much did that cost you??

[@marioalberto8319]

It was very helpful. I changed mine on my fusion yesterday and this video was very helpful thanks.👍👍

[@InuranusBrokoff]

To the guys saying don't top off the fuel, that doesn't matter, this problem still exists.

[@fergusferguson4782]

You can actually take the genuine Ford part apart. It is two components zip tied together. The hose that goes to the bottom of the engine is just a hose, and shouldn't need replacing at all. The valve is on the other part. The only difficult thing about replacing that is getting the two nuts off down on the right side of the engine to get the retaining bracket off.

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Good to know, but that doesn't change the fact that the Ford engineer who designed this is going to hell.

[@crouger12]

Thanks so much man. Saved my ass now I have to fully follow this video. Thanks again man. Cheers

This is exactly what is going on with my wife’s 2015 Fusion

[@noone2you622]

Holy shit this was hard to do. The bottom left one was so hard to get to. I ended up breaking the clips with a flathead screwdriver to get it off. Almost no room for a hand down there. Be careful of your AC pipes as well. BUT No more rough idles in the morning after the car was sitting overnight. Only time will tell if the check engine light will turn off since I don't have a way to clear the code. 2016 Fusion 2.0T SE AWD.

[@CameronKyle]

if you believe that was the cause of the problem and you fixed it, then you can clear the code with an OBD reader. if it is infact that issue the light wont turn back on but if it does turn back on after driving a couple miles then the problem is something else. OBD readers are very inexpensive ($10-$20) and great to have in the trunk for peace of mind.

[@adamwoodard979]

You could also go to auto zone and have them clear if you don't want to buy an obd scanner. I paid $40 for my obd scanner.

[@noone2you622]

The autozone's near me refuse to clear codes for some reason. After about 3 days my CEL turned itself off.

[@jamariblackburn5649]

Save yourself a lot of hassle. Cut the tube that goes from the valve to the tubing manifold. Chuck all that new tubing after cutting the tube to the valve off. I made both cuts on the short length of tubing between the two 45 degree elbows. Take off the old valve, then connect the old, still in place tubing manifold to the new valve with a short piece of hose (I used a piece if gas line hose and two clamps. The rest of the tubing manifold has no moving parts inside and just moves air or vapor. I covered my “hacker connection” with a short piece of the corrugated plastic tubing protector from that larger diameter tube that is so hard to get at its connector. Looks “factory”

[@coreywipper1035]

@@jamariblackburn5649 I gotta try this. I don't have small enough hands to replace it.

[@RANS87IROCZ]

Don't top off fuel when filling up, gas finds it way into the evap system from over filling or topping off

[@scottdough3583]

Just cut off the small 5 inch plastic line from valve and replace with rubber fuel rated tubing and you won’t need to disconnect the connections near the alternator and at the lower intake manifold.

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Good point. I would do that if it is my vehicle. For some one else's vehicle, I will have to use the OEM part as a whole replacement.

[@Hinman_9124]

Still have this issue after changing the purge valve and vent valve.

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Did you try changing the hose and the solenoid under the gas tank?

[@natashiacoleman1337]

I have the same exact problem and I suppose to put my car in the shop Monday. My question is do it have anything to do with the fuel delivery pump, fuel injection pump, fuel injectors or any metal fuel delivery lines? I’m asking this question because I don’t want to be responsible for paying for something other than the fuel system itself. Please help

[@JJCentral-DIY]

In theory it could be any of those, but starting with the cheapest part and going up makes sense. In that order, charcoal canister valve, then these purge valve hoses, then the fuel filter and fuel pump makes sense.

[@mattevans1643]

The code is for bleeding, not delivery. There is a chance that it could be those, but that should be your last resort, as it's probably not those.

[@rememberberries4277]

@@mattevans1643 what would it most likely be?

Does this help with throttle response because mine takes a little bit longer to respond than it did last year

It could be, more importantly clean your throttle body and MAF sensors.

Can you reuse the hose assembly on a 2013fusion titanium

[@crismartinez1325]

Would this code cause the car not to start? Or crank the engine over?? Got the code try to started i hear the starter going but engine doesn't turn over does this code cause that?

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Yes, it will prevent you from starting especially when the tank is full. Let it sit for some time and it will start.

[@lmgreece671]

So was it the wires or the canister

[@JJCentral-DIY]

Canister. But replaced everything anyway

[@fuxkingnightmare4101]

What was the part number that you ordered and where did you order it from?

[@poseybeats8659]

You can just get the valve and use a heat gun to soften the hosing. Pull out and put new part it. The valve is like $25 on Amazon. The Part is cu5a-9g886-aa You really don’t need to buy the entire hosing assembly. I just did this when my check engine came on and said the purge valve was faulty. Known problem with fords.

After I filled my tank mine started but turned right off , I tried a 2nd time and it stayed on . Do you believe this is my problem?

Sounds about the same problem. Check the codes as well.

[@BEANTGUHtX]

I got p1450 (unable to bleed up fuel tank vacuum)

[@CameronKyle]

I got the P1450 code as well. my mechanic had to replace my whole engine due to the coolant leak recall (not including my model year) after he replaced it my car smelt gassy. I filled my tank completely and then it wouldn't start until after the 4th attempt. and mine also shut off after starting it.

[@BEANTGUHtX]

Cameron Kyle mine turned back on and still running .other than that I haven’t noticed any other problem , my gas is reading fine , don’t smell anything. I’m just gonna do this in the video and hope it works

Don't top off the fuel

It’s literally impossible to do the clamp at the bottom my arms are bruised and been trying for hours for one clamp

[@JJCentral-DIY]

I feel for you brother, I got bruised all over the hand trying to undo the clamp. Try rotating it 90 degrees and try it, you can see the clip from the top that way. No tool can make it easy, you have to force with your hands.
