Does the Ford EcoSport have a gas cap?
Yes, the Ford EcoSport does not have a traditional gas cap. Instead, it features a capless fuel filler system. The capless fuel filler system uses two locking flaps to keep the fuel in and allows for refueling without the need to unscrew a cap. To refuel, you simply insert the fuel pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler valve until it latches and start filling up the tank. This technology was pioneered by Ford and offers advantages such as convenience and the elimination of the risk of losing or forgetting the gas cap.
