What code?
Mine hasn't done anything yet.


It may depend on the vehicle and/or year of manufacturer and/or if the
outer fuel door is sealing properly.

Judging by some of the other Youtube videos Ford re-designed the capless
fuel hose for later models (2013/14???) On some models the fuel door
position is further up from the road or back wheel and so tends to get
less muck flung up to that location. The problem seems to be very small
grit particles stopping the sprung fuel flap in the pipe from fully
closing.


OK, mines only 4 months old.
If I get trouble it will go back to be fixed.


which the dealer won't be able to do .......



The fix shown on Youtube is to clean off the dust/grit from the closed
flap with compressed air and then insert and remove the emergency fuel
funnel[1] a dozen or more times. The cap mentioned in the original post
may stop grit etc. entering the fuel pipe.

[1]
"Genuine" Ford item available on Ebay for around £5 (different funnels
for different fuels/models). It's a funnel that fits into the fuel pipe
to open the sprung flap(s) when filling from a can without the
appropriate spout.
