The Ford GT- a mid-engine sports car built by Ford Motor Company is
the first car to feature many new and
unique technologies, including a cap less fuel filler system, super-plastic-formed
aluminum body panels, roll-bonded floor panels, etc.
When the Lincoln MKS debuts in
2008, it will become the second vehicle in Ford Motor Company’s product line to
use a cap less fuel filler.
The Easy Fuel™ capless fuel-filler system is a Ford-exclusive feature
that uses an integrated spring-loaded flapper door to eliminate the need for a
fuel tank screw cap. It automatically seals after the fuel nozzle is removed.
With this new feature, Ford is helping thousands of customers save time and keeps
their hands clean from the fuel pump dirt. It's also better for the environment
because no gas fumes escape.
Another purpose of this new
technology is the fuel nozzle detector. If
a nozzle or foreign tube of a different size is placed in the filler neck of a
gasoline-powered vehicle, the latches will not release. This saves the car from
accidentally filling it up with diesel fuel therefore saving the engine from
being totally damaged. But the system comes with a handy plastic funnel to make
sure customers could easily get fuel into the system if they ran out.
To protect the fuel filler neck
from dirt, dust and debris, Easy Fuel relies on a flexible rubber seal in the
body housing.
Having this with your Ford gives
you no problem with the exterior look. The new system will be simple, and its
hiding behind the same fuel door found on today’s vehicles.
This new and simple technology
would make car owners life a bit more comfortable. Therefore Ford deserves an
appreciation for this.
