The easy fuel system leaks badly especially over 75 degrees. i can smell the strong odor of gasoline. in addition it set off the mil light for the "small leak" in the evap system. it has now set a permanent code for this problem. the problem is the flap does not tightly seat enough to contain the gas vapor and the unit out gasses badly. it could be a major fire hazard. any open flame, spark on a job site, or just some goof with a lit smoke could set off a fire ball. at present the unit is parked, as i am afraid to drive it less it become a liability problem for our firm. what is needed is a standard fuel cap to totally seal the tank. there is no way to get one from ford to fix this problem. *tr
