Where is the fuel filler switch on a Ford?
1 Answers
Ford's fuel filler switch is located on the door armrest or in front of the steering wheel. First, locate the fuel tank cap switch on the left front side of the Ford's driver's seat. Then, lift the fuel tank cap switch, and the fuel tank cap will pop open. Next, unscrew the inner fuel tank cap counterclockwise. The removed inner cap can be hung on the hook inside the outer fuel tank cap. After that, tighten the inner fuel tank cap clockwise. Finally, close the outer fuel tank cap securely. Generally, there are three ways to open the fuel tank cap in passenger cars: using a key, an interior switch, or pressing directly. The mechanical key method is more complicated, so it is rarely used in modern passenger cars. The more common method nowadays is having an interior switch button, which is more convenient compared to the mechanical key method. This method has been widely adopted in fuel vehicles for a long time. However, it can easily lead to refueling without turning off the engine, so drivers should pay extra attention. If you must replace the fuel tank cap, ensure you use one specifically designed for your vehicle. Using an incorrect or non-genuine Ford fuel tank cap may cause damage to the fuel tank or fuel system, which could affect the vehicle's warranty.
