Fuel Filler Neck Replacement! | 2011 Ford Escape with Evap leak!

[@rossocampo4131]

We had 2009 ford escape with p0442 code. We replaced the purge valve, cleaned the fuel capless, masking taped the fuel capless, bought a new fuel cap with key still the engine light is lit. We tried to wiggle the rubber hose attached to the fuel tank and tighten the o ring clamp the engine light disappeared. The small leak coming from the hook of the o ring clamp inserted in the rubber hose & metal tube of the tank . Add 1 o ring clamp side by side to prevent leaking again.

Are you able to reuse the hoses from the old one?

[@coughsneeze4780]

I’m newer to this car stuff, i cant seem to find a hose replacement as well? Should i get a hose replacement if its just the easyfuel cap?

I have a 2010 Ford Escape and I put a bottle of that fuel additive to clean out my my fuel system and it leaked out everywhere on my tire on the ground my flapper is installed do I need to find a different bottle or what?

[@BigBensCarsAndCycles]

You can get a funnel designed for capless fuel inlets. Then insert the funnel and pour the bottles in.

I went through all this just to find out my Fuel tank cap wasn't tightly sealed after installing a new fuel pump😢 Once I tightened it and staretedthe car, the check engine light disappeared. Aside from that, the filler neck alone cost me around $132, but didn't come with the hoses, and from the looks of it, the hoses weren't created in a way to be removed from the old one so I put it back on and drove to my nearest auto parts store. The thicker hose that flows from the fuel tank its self was priced at $118😑. Thankfully I was able to get a full refund since the new fuel filler neck hadn't been installed😮‍💨

[@BigBensCarsAndCycles]

Wow, hate to hear that. Maybe you can find a different brand that comes loaded with the hoses like the Motorcraft one

[@brayantlapechco3821]

I was thinking about going to the junk yard to get the part, do you know if the part matters if it’s for a 3.0 or a 2.5? I have a 2009 ford escape 3.0

[@BigBensCarsAndCycles]

I'm not sure, you can compare part numbers for each one on rock auto

[@kennethrose3804]

Great video if you could see it

[@rtweedt85]

Does the fuel level in the tank matter to do this safely?

[@BigBensCarsAndCycles]

Hi. Some residual fuel may remain in the filler hose when removing, you can drain it into a pan. Or wait until you have half a tank or less to be safe

[@joshuareid2107]

where did you get that neck from or do you have a part number

[@BigBensCarsAndCycles]

Possibly Dorman 507 877, you can check rock auto or call the dealer

[@jasonbreeding7978]

What if the flapper broke off and is sitting in there? Then what do you do?

[@BigBensCarsAndCycles]

Replace the filler neck. Once the old ones off, shake it to see if its still in the neck. If not, it may have wandered into the tank. Not the end of the world. It wont make it past the fuel pump strainer

[@unrealford]

What's a approx cost to have this part replaced and installed?

[@BigBensCarsAndCycles]

I don't remember for sure. I'm going to say $500 - $800 parts and labor

[@spaghetti9516]

Got this whole piece for $55 on rock auto and the installation is easy enough you can probably do it yourself

[@youwish3439]

I have a 12 focus I can’t fill my tank up it keeps clicking like it’s full and my gas gauge reads full

[@BigBensCarsAndCycles]

The purge valve may have pulled liquid fuel into the canister and clogged it. You could start by replacing the purge valve and canister. Call the dealer and see if you have an open recall for fuel tank deformation first

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles thank u

[@christinaboleware8904]

Your video for fuel filler replacement is misleading. You do not show the sensor tube as well as the filler hose removal and replacement. You should be ashamed of your self

[@BigBensCarsAndCycles]

I stay in a constant state of self-shame. Have a nice day!

[@christinaboleware8904]

Just think you should at least mention the fact that those have to be done as well. But your video did help and i appreciate your time to do the video. 😊

@@christinaboleware8904 Glad it was helpful. This is one of my earlier videos - still was new at recording. My newer stuff is much better. Thanks!
