THIS MIGHT NOT WORK ON INLETS THAT ARE REALLY DIRTY OR IF YOU'VE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR A WHILE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES Smash that subscribe button!
It took two tries, but this worked for my 2013 Ford Flex! I used WD40 and then pushed that plastic funnel into the fuel inlet 30 times. (I never knew that funnel was under the spare!) Then after driving around for 2 weeks, the light was still on. I did the process one more time, and after driving the car once or twice more, the message and the engine light went off. It saved me time and money, and it felt great to fix it myself! Thanks!!
I just got that same code. Was wondering where is that lil extension tube he said comes with ford vehicles located. I have 2014 f150 do you have any clue?
It will take longer than a ride around the block to see if its fixed. The car needs to meet certain criteria in order for the evap monitor to run to see if there is a fault in the system. Usually you need between 50 and 90% of fuel in your tank. Some cars run the test at night to check the integrity of the system to make sure there is no decay
Thanks for posting i have c max 2013 inlets warning light came out following day engine light warnig and i followyour instructions both warning light gone after several km driving thanks !!
I bought a mustang gt 2011 it had the filler light on I was going order the filler tube but now I'm try this also found a special cap for it that cost 30 it even comes with a key
Well, our 09 Escape still will not start... after changing out fuel pump and the purge valve....still getting the P0457 permanent code ..any hints? tnx. I did try to clean this filler opening a bit..but this should not prevent vehicle from starting........and check engine light was not on.. except in accessory...
This should not effect how the vehicle starts. Have you tried disconnecting your battery for a few minutes then connecting it? It could work not for sure but its worth a shot, try giving it just a little bit of gas while starting it. I remember talking to a ford tech about it and he said sometimes the car needs collaboration after changing the purge valve.
Not a permanent fix...the light will come back...to fix the problem you need to replace the filler neck..which is a pain in the ass job to do..i suggest to just keep driving it like that because it will save you over $450 with parts and labor..And still have the same problem because ford hasn't change the design of the filler neck..just saying.
Tried ALL of these fixes, no long-term help, maybe 2 or 3 fill ups. Changed sensor of top front of engine (about 20$ to buy) two bolts, I hose, 1 Elec connecter, Problem solved, both warning AND engine warning out immediately. Just saying
@@TheMrG0AT Well I'm Canadian so the price would be different for American's should be cheaper for you ,, I bought the 2013Taurus used from the Ford dealer in Aug 2018 luckily the car had a 36 day warranty from the dealer the cost was $112.00 for a PCV no charge for me ... and the problem is gone

I guess it took awhile for it to work, but it's great that it did. Thanks for watching.
So did it work?
Did that warning ever come on again after a couple years???
Thank you !! Have the same vehicle, and I was hoping to see if this really works for my flex
I had this same problem on my 2015 F 150, but found your vidieo and did what you recommend and it fixed my problem. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You...
No problem, I'm glad it worked.

@@ohillny Lift up the rear seats, and it's under there in the little storage area.
Did you have one or two flaps on your gas cap?
@@ant00099 One flap.

Excellent advise. Nice, short, concise video. Thank you.
Very cool.....fixed the issue on my 2014 flex limited! Thx for posting, was going to take it to the dealer.
No problem. Thanks for watching..
Erik Marshall yup. Saves us from the $158 diagnostic cost (as of 2019, Fresno, CA, USA). Or if in warranty, a hefty $100 deductible.
My mom's Ford Fusion has that light on I'm gonna do this today.
Good luck, hope it works.
20 30 40 times hahahahaha
HAHAHAHAHAHA LOL Literally..
I bought a mustang gt 2011 it had the filler light on I was going order the filler tube but now I'm try this also found a special cap for it that cost 30 it even comes with a key
Let me know how it works out!
EXCELLENT JOB WELL DONE 👏
Thank you!
Never once reset the battery😂 surely it’ll come back on but now I know. It’s turned off once randomly but came back on so I gave up on it
Thanks it really helped
No problem, thanks for watching.
Slower...... Ahhhhhhh!!!! LAH!!!!! Thanks bro 👊 this helped!
Would this cause your check engine light to come on?
Yes, in some cases it does. It would be a code for evap
Thanks for the post!!
Thanks for watching!
Used a splash of WD40 and disconnected the battery for 5 min and it worked.
Thanks bro, the best video.
No problem, thanks for watching!
Thanks de Venezuela
I did that and it went away but then came back any reason why?
Disconnect the negative terminal on the battery for like a minute, might reset the computer.
Gracias

Maybe this can help a little. www.autocodes.com/p0457_ford.html
did that also...and the gas
but did not remove cable after changing valve....i'll try ..tnx
if i figure something out i will let you know for sure, hopefully everything works out for you.

Is it for ford fusion 2013 too? I have been having the light on for some time.
Yes, you can try it.

Mine hasn't come back yet hopefully stays like that!
@@AbdullahZahid thats wonderful my friend ...i work for Ford so thats great news..i have heard of few people that had good success.
@@edgardoconcepcion2720 Ford has fixed this on newer vehicles right?
@@AbdullahZahid yes they fixed it..2010 models have the new update filler necks
@@edgardoconcepcion2720 mine is 2010 and its doing it, going to try this fix
This didn’t fix mine

What sensor ? Thx
Can you give me any links for more info on how?
They sell a cap with a key on Amazon for it… about $12-$13
Can you share the link
@@Aubieonethese are Capless dude try to keep up.
My car won’t even start ,and have the fuel fill inlet ,it crank but wont start
Would this also cause a gas smell?
It could cause minor gas odor, if it’s stuck open.
0:38 clean your funnel first
Hahahaha just noticed that GG explorer. I guess my fuel filter took care of that.
Una pregunta q el carro tenga gasolina o no 😅
I did as stated in the video, but the signal did not disappear
I had to go for a drive then it went away. If that does not work, disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery for 1 minute clears the light.
I just bought WD-40 can I actually use it? ?
If you want you can, i did some reading and people have used wd-40 just don't use too much.
Abdullah Zahid thanks habibi
No problem habibi.
right on dude thx
No problem dude. Thanks for watching!
it turned out to be a PCV
barry atherton how much for the repair

You can get a Purge valve for like 50
Takes 5 minutes to fix
Thanks!
No problem!
Get on ebay and buy a ten dollar gas cap that fits this system
Would that fix the issue though?
This is for a capless system
