What code?
Mine hasn't done anything yet.

Fords... Well a number of people I know with fords seem to also be having
issues with faulty hand brakes in the is hot weather with the attendant Ice
Cream Van tinkle.
I'm thinking of starting a get back to basics mechanical hand brake society.
Indeed as a non driver I do find it a bit tiresome when everyone I know who
can see seems to have problems with the electronics in their cars!

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.

None of those I know with fords do and it gets
a hell of a lot hotter here than it does there.

Pass.

No thanks, I would rather have the electric one.

I had one for seven years with no problems but the current car has a
lever and they are horrible.

I have to be very careful about putting it on as if I do it too well the
wife can't release it even with both hands.

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

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.
