What owners say
Rain/snow water leaked into the cap-less gas filler neck. Water settles between the outer and inner filler flaps. Experienced the water freezing which prevented the outer flap from opening inward. Because of the ice blockage, was unable to fuel vehicle during freezing temperatures. The inability to fuel the vehicle could result in a life-threaten situation where the vehicle is stranded in freezing environments. Requesting a retrofit to prevent water intrusion or to allow proper drainage.
Capless fuel filler allows water to collect between the outer door and the inner door of the filler neck. Approximately 15ml of water collects in this area after any rainfall. The water enters the tank when the fuel nozzle is inserted. Water in the fuel system can cause vehicle performance problems as well as maintenance codes which require dealer service to repair. In cold climates, the water freezes preventing fueling of the vehicle. This situation has happened to me twice already this winter, one time required the vehicle to stay inside until the ice melted and the water could be extracted.
There is a problem with cap less fuel filler system. Water enters filler area either from rain or car wash. In cold weather, water freezes and you cannot get gas filler pump into cap less filler tube in vehicle as ice forms blocking entry. Vehicle owner is likely to use some form of heat to melt the ice, which could result in a fire or explosion hazard. My vehicle was stationary when this happened, at a gas station. It has occurred on two occasions.
Water leaks in to the capless fuel filler and freezes creating an ice dam that prevents fueling the vehicle.
