How to remove tubing or hose from a capless Ford easyfill system

[@sklangley2068]

The dealership didn't know what to do, they wanted to have us make an appointment and they would take it apart. We had a wedding to attend and had no time to take time off to get this fixed. You saved us so much money and we still made the wedding as planned. Thank you so so so much!!!

[@Phatphatyo]

Awesome! I’m glad it saved your bacon. I had a bit of a freak out when I did it.

[@mochaloca79]

You’re a hero! Someone tried to siphon gas from my son’s car and left a tube hanging out. Your video saved us! THANK YOU!!

[@Phatphatyo]

Shoot that sucks but I’m glad you got it out of there.

[@nataluworld5660]

My father bought me a gas tube to fill up my car and it got stuck because I have the newer car. I just want to thank you so much for sharing this video because like you.I also couldn't find any information online. You are literally a lifesaver and a hero for me.

[@Phatphatyo]

@@nataluworld5660 awesome! I’m glad it helped! Its helped more people than I thought it would.

[@attilacermak7582]

You saved me from a heart attack. One useful tip for those who have a longer pipe and have to cut it shorter: don't cut it too short, I almost pushed the whole pipe inside my fuel tank with my screwdriver after letting that gate loose...causing a 2nd potential heart attack. Had to use my non-existing surgical skills to get it out from there, 1cm shorter and the whole pipe falls inside the tank.

[@Phatphatyo]

Good call. Never thought of that. That would suck.

[@frankbudzyn8418]

You are a hero in my household tonight. Thank you so much. May God bless you endlessly!

[@Phatphatyo]

@@frankbudzyn8418 I’m just a guy that got his tubing stuck also. I was sweating bullets when I did it. Took some figuring out. I’m glad it was helpful. Thanks for the feedback. That was nice of you to say.

[@frankbudzyn8418]

@Phatphatyo the idea crossed my mind before F150 forums made me think I needed to drop the tank to remove the filler neck. The stress of the situation got the best of me. Glad I found your video!

[@MyPiecesOf8]

Thank you! Thank you! This video just saved my *ss! Here's what I did: I cut the tubing like you said, but probably didn't have to in the end. I didn't have as long of screwdriver as you did, so I slid a screwdriver down underneath the tubing that was stuck. And like you said, it stops, but can then be pushed in further with a little extra push. That must be that second flap/gate you can't see. I wasn't able to pull the tubing out, so I switched to slipping the screwdriver in on the topside of the tubing. Once in, and through the lower flap/gate, I pushed the screwdriver down to "open" that gate while pulling on the tubing. It worked. The tubing finally came out. I was surprised how crimped/smashed the tubing was from the flap/gate closing on it. Thank you again! I was out of town in a rural area when this all happened.

[@Phatphatyo]

Yikes. I was in a garage so it was easier. It would be harder out in the sticks I’d imagine. I’m glad it helped, and yeah, those flaps really push on it- more than you’d think. Unless it closes harder when you pull on it. Maybe that’s it..

[@pmac1245]

Just want to thank you, as well - this trick saved me. I had *added* gas to the tank on my 2015 C-Max, from a portable tank via a siphon tube and then couldn't get the tube out. (Yes, I should have used the nozzle. Next time, I will.) I was going to post in the C-Max Facebook group to see if anyone had a suggestion, and just thought I should try KZbin, as it has been teaching me stuff all weekend long. And you came through for me! Thanks again.

[@Phatphatyo]

Awesome. Glad it helped.

[@marlynsentiasa]

You made my evening when those Honda technicians that I called wont be able to help until tomorrow morning!! The trick worked with Honda CRV 2022 using a think metal cloth hanger...wow.. thank you 100x

[@5642jlohan]

Thank you man whoever you are that trick saved me a ton. I'm living in the Dominican Republic, under quarantine and was trying to siphon gas for the motorcycle. It works.

[@Phatphatyo]

Yeah it’s a little tricky and weird but it will work if you’re in a pinch. I did the same thing in Idaho. We aren’t that bad yet but places around us are. So I filled my truck with 36gal and I figure it will last a long time in my little Honda 919 to get around, or in my wife’s Prius.

[@selaromzerep]

Thieves left a hose stuck after stealing gas from our business’ Ford Transit, and this worked to get it out. Thanks for posting!

[@Phatphatyo]

Oh dang. That’s a bummer and a (slight) win. At least you got it out. I’d rather someone take the gas than damage or plug my rig.

[@ronwilson3860]

Thanks... followed your video with my wife 2022 Ram Truck... Couldn't face her to tell what I was trying to do with that hose... Wow.. You saved the day ! Thanks again!!!

[@DanLander-c5z]

Thank you! This video saved me! This worked great on my 2017 Chevy Camaro so it will probably work on a lot of car makes and models. The key seems to be putting the screw driver into the tubing. And, yes, you do have to push hard. Never again will I try to siphon gas out of my car. I often used to siphon gas out of my car 25 years ago or so to fill up my lawn mower. I hadn't done it in years and thought I would easily siphon some gas out for a new generator I wanted to try out. Nope! Modern cars are different! I'm sure this video saved me a least $200.00 and the embarrassment of going to a mechanic with this issue.

[@Phatphatyo]

Haha. Glad it helped. It’s terrifying isn’t it? As long as you have HARD tubing it slides pretty good but even then I worry that the catches will file off a bit of the tubing and leave flakes in the tank.

[@merichase6917]

Thank you! 74 yo but still learning every day! Works on a 2020 Honda Civic!

[@theroswells994]

Dealership was going to charge us $800 to replace the filler neck. Cannot express how greatful we are to you for making this video 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Hope Kharma is sending you all the great things you deserve 🤣😍

[@Phatphatyo]

Oh wow that’s pricey. I’m glad it helped you!!

[@davidwright1876]

Thank you for posting your creative solution! Your video and explanation were really helpful. You saved me a minimum of a $169 visit to the car dealer. With labor, they probably would have charged even more.

[@Phatphatyo]

Likely. The parts are usually the cheap part. At 120/hr the labor is what kills you

[@jamesj9537]

Thank you for this!! Worked like a charm 10 seconds or so. Terrible design if you need to add gas from a can

[@Phatphatyo]

For sure. If you need to add from a can the truck comes with a funnel to do it. It’s behind the passenger side rear seat. Then you can put it back and have your cab smell like gas. Brilliant.

[@edwardvarsalona4678]

Bro you are a lifesaver thank you so much.. I was trying to test a gas siphon in my 2021 Honda pilot that I have had for 3 weeks and got it stuck in there. I had no idea about an anti-siphon set up.. I used your trick and it came right out..Thank you for posting this

[@harryTwatt]

Exactly what I needed, thank you! I used a hose to put fuel conditioner in my Ford Energi, since I only need to refuel every 1,800 miles. My gas tank looked exactly like yours at 0:30. I had a long steel rod that was perfect for the job.

Your video saved me a lot of time and money. I watched a different video before this and it almost made me rip off the hose. You explain it better about going past the second wall before pulling down and out.

[@Phatphatyo]

Awesome. Good to hear. I’m glad you got out of it. Even then it’s tricky.

[@JustAFella22]

Phatphatyo I just did it about three hours ago and I was super worried because I ripped part of the hose. I watched your video and got a long crew driver. It worked and it saved me from losing a piece of the hose into the gas tank.

[@Phatphatyo]

ryan lombardi yeah you’d be screwed then. Mine was similar. It started to rip and I was terrified. Glad you got it

[@MatteoLC]

Let me add: that if you're thinking about using a wood dowel rod since it's on your way to your truck...don't. I managed to break THAT off in the tube, luckily the bottom half didn't fall in. Then I walked the extra 25ft to get the long screwdriver, held onto the tube/broken piece with a set of pliers - pushed just above the tube, and it all came out. Thanks for the video - so I didn't make a fool of myself in the FB group of 50k F-150 owners...just in front of whoever reads my comment.

[@Phatphatyo]

Oh wow. That would be terrifying. Wood stuck in the tube. Wow. I remember thinking of using a dowel that night I figured it out and made the video. Good thing I didn’t. I’m glad the video helped and that you got it out to avoid the dealership ridicule. Actually you’re right- the forums would have been worse.

[@Brighteyedleather]

We were the day before a cross country move and couldn't take a move a full Jerry can, so tried to pour it into my truck in order not to waste it. I didn't know that you can't use a tube with the new tanks, and it got stuck. We were literally freaking out as we were due to drive 2 days the next day. Your video saved the whole freaking move. My husband literally had tears when it came out because we were so stressed. I had to take a curtain rod off the wall to use because all our tools were packed away but it worked!!

Aternatively one can put the funnel around the hose and push it into the filling opening, so that the hose remains inside the funnel. This also worked for me

[@Phatphatyo]

That’s an awesome idea. I never thought of that. It doesn’t open the lower catch (rollover valve) but for the first flap I’d think that that would work great. Good call.

[@brianmartinez5612]

So with a soft tube like that, you're going through center of tube because the tube itself is pinched? Because I have a rigid metal flex tube that is ribbed. Have not tried yet, but not sure if this method will work. Perhaps ill have to put a rod along side the funnel tube to get the 2nd door open? Thoughts?

[@Phatphatyo]

Yeah I don’t know if I’d dare try a ribbed tube unless it’s super slick and you think it could slide past the catch. Yes that’s why I had the second tube. Although- I do think that if I had the right size and length of hard plastic tubing (my outer layer) that I could have just used that. It slid back and forth decent and was bigger than my inner. Because the inner was so small it took so danged long to siphon. Bigger would have been a lot faster.

[@markorwig9589]

Great video, thanks. I had this same problem and before I saw this video I used a regular screwdriver OUTSIDE the tube to lift the inner flap to get the hose out. I was super careful but I think I may have damaged the inner flap. I just went to the gas station to fill up and the pump kept shutting off. Not sure if the pump was the issue or my car. I have a 2018 Jeep Grand Jerokee. Is that a sign I may have damaged the flap? Thanks!

[@Phatphatyo]

I don’t know on that one. I’d be guessing but if I were a betting man I’d say it was a weird pump. Hope that’s all it was. The pump shuts off when fuel hits a sensor on the nozzle indicating it’s near the top. If the flap was somehow half open and half closed or something for fuel to splash up and hit the sensor then in theory the nozzle should hold it open while you’re gassing up. I’m just guessing though. Let me know what happens next time you fill. I’m curious.

[@stevef1304]

This just happened to my wife it’s definitely the inner flap im going to stick a camera down there and see whats going on

[@jeffford7789]

I have a half tank of gas in my 2017 Viper and the shipping company want less than an eighth tank for shipping so my hose got stuck in the cap less gas tank spout.

Shoot I don’t know. All I can think of if it’s really small is if there’s room next to it to slide a second thing down like a long screwdriver or something. Is there room for a second thing down it to hold it open while you slide the first one out? Just be sure it’s slick like a screwdriver so it comes back out.

What happens if i push the pipe inside the fuel tank?? Will that affect fuel tank or engine in any way??

[@Phatphatyo]

@@tusharpol858 you mean you pushed too far and can’t grab it? I don’t know that anything will happen other than it might hold a valve open and you may smell fumes. As long as you can fill it with a gas nozzle without it blowing back and splashing you. I’d almost say push more hose so it goes all the way to the tank and is out of the way. But that’s a guess. I’m not a pro on that one.

[@Phatphatyo]

Yeah if it’s just the first flap then that’s all you’d need to do is open it like the gas nozzle would do. But- If you’re far enough down that you catch the second flap or the rollover ball farther down, then it gets stuck bad. And the harder you pull the tighter it gets.

Let me tell you where to make out that check to. Haha. Glad it helped dude.

[@SpS-hk3rw]

Thank You!!!!!!

[@Phatphatyo]

I’m glad it helped!

[@anthonymarino4260]

Thanks for sharing

[@Phatphatyo]

Glad it was helpful. I don’t claim to make very good videos but this one has seemed to have gotten a few people out of a pickle. It’s good to hear the positive feedback. I was that guy too. I was freaking out when I couldn’t get my tube out.

[@ronrickenbach2878]

Thank you, bro. Who knew? Worked perfectly.

[@Phatphatyo]

Awesome. Glad it helped.

[@armstronglance]

Haven’t been able to get this solution to work yet, but..,,,,, I tried some things that Probably made it worse, and dug that rubber pipe in to the flapper. they say Ford has a better idea, but this wasn’t a better idea. Frankly because the thieves will know to put a funnel down past the 2nd flapper, then a flexible pipe Inside that for the rest of the way. Then they’ve got your gas. Still the best way is to have a gas lever inside the vehicle.

[@Phatphatyo]

I don’t know how far down that catch goes but this is just a thought I never tried- I’d the tube you’re using fits inside the funnel behind your back passenger seat, it holds the flaps open, or at least the top one. If it fits in the funnel, try running it through and opening the flap with the funnel. You think? Again I’ve never tried it, I’m not sure if it will work. If you do though, let me know.

[@Phatphatyo]

Even my solution in the video was hard to do though. Know that. Also if you dig too hard you can cut through your tubing you used. Be careful of that too so you don’t cut it and get it stuck in there.

[@armstronglance]

Phatphatyo I do have a long funnel that the rubber hose might have fit inside of. But I cut the tube short to try your solution, and now the tube is too short to grab if I try the funnel. 🙁 I haven’t given up yet. I’ll reply here again if I get it out tomorrow. (Sure feel like an idiot for doing this. Only reason I did it was because of the virus thing & we didn’t want to go into town)

[@Phatphatyo]

armstronglance sorry no I meant your trucks funnel. If you are 2015 or up like this one it is behind the passenger side rear seat. Fold it down and it’s on the back wall. It’s a special funnel from ford.

[@Phatphatyo]

armstronglance funny you say that though because I’m headed out the door not to fill my truck (36 gal tank) so that it could be siphoned into the wife’s Prius if needed. Gas hasn’t been scarce in Idaho yet but with a little gti I run around in I may as well keep the truck full for just in case stuff.

[@chatomairi]

Why not put the funnel in the tank and the tube through the funnel.

[@Phatphatyo]

You could and it would get past one catch but you’d still have a ball valve in there. It’s the turnover protection valve that doesn’t let fuel come out if you land on the roof. The problem is that if you need the larger tube around the smaller tube, both don’t typically fit in a funnel. One will but not the thicker of the two and still let the smaller one in. If you got the right sizes you could but it would be all but impossible to get it exactly right. But for the first valve you could. You’d just still have to face the second one.

I have a spiral metal tube stuck. This didn’t work

[@Phatphatyo]

Oh crap. Spiral is probably snagging it on the threads. I don’t know how you’d get that out. Will it mess it up to back it out like a big screw? Twist it counter clockwise?

[@RT-gq3bh]

Thanks so much. It’s a nozzle on a metal gas can. It’s probably segmented as opposed to spiral. The plastic face is some how attached to the metal pipe going to the gas tank. Threaded, clipped press fit???

[@Phatphatyo]

@@RT-gq3bh shoot I don’t know on that one. Most of those old segmented nozzles are either smooth enough that I’d think they’d slide out maybe catching a bit on the segments or ribbed more heavily which I’d think would have been hard to get in. I don’t know how to get that out unfortunately. Sorry I’m not more help. I’ll think on it.

[@RT-gq3bh]

You are correct. I took it to the Tire Shop. The guy got it out by poking with a screwdriver on the flapper and pulling hard. I probably didn’t pull hard enough. Thanks again.

[@Phatphatyo]

@@RT-gq3bh glad you got it.

[@JoeGarcia-cg1pp]

Here in California that saves you like 900 ram dealer in Fresno Ca are a ripoff they gonna want to drop the gas tank to milk you bet!

[@Phatphatyo]

Holy cow. That’s crazy money
