Does a 2016 Ford Taurus have a gas cap?

Answer:
Yes, the 2016 Ford Taurus does not have a traditional gas cap. Instead, it features a capless fuel filler system that uses two locking flaps to keep the fuel in and allows for refueling without the need for a cap.
To refill the fuel tank, you simply need to open the fuel door like you normally would and push the fuel pump nozzle past the small flap. Once through, keep pushing until you feel it pop past the second flap, and then you can fill up as normal.
It’s worth noting that due to the auto-locking nature of the fuel filler, you cannot fill up from a portable gas tank like you normally would. Instead, you would need to use a special funnel that Ford includes with the vehicle.
