Help removing rubber hose from fuel filler.

[DarkHorse]

Looks like someone tried to siphon fuel from my car, and got the hose stuck.

I've tried force, and the hose will not come out. It 5:44, I'm at the gas station and I'm 28 miles til empty. Fml

Did you reach in and push open the flapper door with your finger or something? If not it would be catching the hose.

there is a funnel (spout) in the trunk. Put the hose through it and push it in until it releases the hose.

who the fuck siphons fuel now at days? sorry about that OP, people are savages.

This is what the hose is caught behind if they managed to push the hose passed it, then when it is attempted to be removed it gets caught.

"Another deterrent in Ford vehicles is associated with the on-board refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) system. The main purpose of the system is to prevent vapors from escaping during the fueling process. Another deterrent in Ford vehicles is an inlet check valve that is part of the on-board refueling vapor recovery system. While the valve is primarily designed to prevent vapors from escaping during the fueling process, it also can thwart siphoning efforts because it closes automatically after the fueling process. It does so by detecting the pressure of liquid fuel as it passes. On many Ford vehicles, this valve will thwart the siphoning effort by thieves."

You gonna push the spare funnel in the port while pulling the hose out.
There are several flaps in the neck that need to be open to remove the hose.

Thanks guys I managed to get the hose out with an extra person. I had to use one finger to push up in the first flap, a screwdriver to pry open the second flap, while I had another person at a gas station pull the hose out it was pretty jammed in there tight because I think who panicked and couldn't get the hose out.

You definitely got me there! I was using the majority of my brain power driving in the rain and thinking about what I would do to the person that tried to siphon my gas. Very little was used to thank you guys, and apologize for my grammer [emoji6].

I hate to just point and blame people, but we do have a sorta...kinda homeless guy living in a tent in the woods next to the apartments. I can see the tent everyday when I leave, and get home from work. We called the police about 2 weeks ago, and they said that he was not on the apartments property...blah blah blah so they could not do anything. The area where the cars are parked is pretty dark, so people could do what they want, if they wanted to...
