Do Fords have fuel caps?

Fords and Fuel Caps
Yes, Fords do have fuel caps, but many newer Ford vehicles are equipped with capless fuel fillers. The capless fuel filler system was first introduced by Ford in 2003 on the Ford GT sports car and has since been implemented in various Ford models.
With a capless fuel filler, you simply open the fuel door like you normally would and insert the fuel pump nozzle. The system has two small spring-loaded tabs that pull back a flap inside the fuel filler neck as the nozzle hits them. When the nozzle is removed, the flap closes, eliminating the need for a traditional fuel cap.
There are several advantages to having a capless fuel filler. It provides convenience by eliminating the need to unscrew and replace a fuel cap, and it helps prevent the check engine light from appearing due to a loose or missing cap. Additionally, the capless system has environmental benefits by limiting the escape of gasoline vapors.
While capless fuel fillers are becoming more common in Ford vehicles, it’s worth noting that not all Ford models have this feature. Some older Ford vehicles may still have traditional fuel caps.
