Fuel and Refueling Easy Fuel® "No Cap" Fuel System 179 WARNING: The fuel system may be under pressure. If you hear a hissing sound near the fuel filler door, do not refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which could cause serious personal injury. When fueling your vehicle: 1. Turn the engine off. 2. Open the fuel door by pulling the indent on the door. 3. Insert the fuel plug key (if equipped) into the locking plug and turn it counterclockwise to unlock it. 4. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle fully into the fuel system, and leave the nozzle fully inserted until you are done pumping. 5. After you are done pumping fuel, slowly remove the fuel filler nozzle-allow about ten seconds after pumping fuel before removing the fuel filler nozzle. This allows residual fuel to drain back into the fuel tank and not spill onto the vehicle. 6. Reinstall the plug (if equipped) into the fuel fill inlet and turn the key clockwise to lock. Note: Do not overfill the tank or fuel spillage will occur. If the fuel fill inlet was not properly closed, a Check Fuel Fill Inlet message may appear on the information display. See the Information Displays chapter for more information. At the next opportunity, do the following: 1. Safely pull off the road. 2. Turn off the engine. 3. Open the fuel filler door and remove any visible debris from the fuel fill opening. 4. Insert either the fuel fill nozzle or the fuel fill funnel provided with the vehicle several times to dislodge any debris and/or allow the inlet to close properly. If this action corrects the problem, the message may not reset immediately. It may take several driving cycles for the message to turn off. A driving cycle consists of an engine start-up (after four or more hours with the engine off) followed by city/highway driving. Continuing to drive with the message on may cause the service engine soon lamp to turn on as well. 2014 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, June 2013 USA (fus)
