Are all Ford gas caps the same?
There are different types of gas caps, ranging from slow-release to cap-less. However, the gas caps for all types of vehicles are made to be universal and can fit to cover the gas tank in any vehicle. Plus, gas caps are so much more than a piece of plastic that stops gas from leaving the gas tank.
How can I tell which side of my fuel cap is on?
Not many people know this so it’s a handy little tip, if you look at the fuel gauge on the dash, there is a little arrow next to the fuel pump logo which quite simply indicates which side of the car the fuel filler cap is on.

When do you need to replace your fuel cap?
A fuel cap keeps your fuel clean by sealing off the opening to your gas tank, keeping out grit and also preventing fuel vapor release from your vehicle. You may need to replace your fuel cap if your cap no longer tightens properly, your Check Engine Light comes on, or if you’re smelling fuel from the rear of the vehicle.

Fuel smell from the vehicle Another symptom of a possible issue with the fuel cap is a fuel smell from the vehicle.

This may result in a gasoline odor from the vehicle as a result of the escaping vapors.
