ZOMBIE!

But you have your car! I'll trade you, you get my COTUS order status and I'll take your car!

Oh, sorry, not complaining.. My bad. Just saying I am used to checking it non-stop. Not meant to whine.

I took a close up of the fuel filler. I liked the 11's, the 15's is slightly improved (not sure if this version was on the 12, 13, & 14's.

Mileage has been 13.4 mpg average in the past week. Almost all city, almost all.. aggressive.

Whoa, whoa, WHOA!

Are you telling me there's NO BOUCHON!?

I hate seeing E15 on there. Damn goberment give me gasoline not corn fuel.

Sorry not trying to derail the thread or anything but I had to get that out there...carry on

I wonder how long those springs for the check/flapper valve are good for to keep an airtight seal.

Does the fuel door lock and have a release on floor/door at all? Doesn't look like it.
Looks easy for kids to mess with and drop what ever into tank without cap.

The door opens without a latch, but there is a spring-loaded piece that seals the opening that locks without the right shaped nozzle.

I assume it functions similarly to my BMW 135i. When the car is locked, you can't even open the gas cap door.

don't think so. Looks like the fusions. Which does not lock.

Well now I'm sad.

Zombie how does it work? I see that it has two filler caps for fuel nozzle, I'm asking about the fuel door if locks or not?

Interested as well.

I have this type of filler on my C7, but the fuel door locks with the doors. From the pic I don't see a latch/lock, but it may be out of the shot. The C7 uses a hook type latch and my VW uses a powered cylinder that moves to lock the door.

Hoping the door locks, since mine will be outside a lot and anyone would be able to access it, like you do if you need to use the CARB gas can funnel.

Edit: Looking at the pic again, it looks like it may have a hook/lock location under the door spring on the right of the pic.

I don't think so. The User Manual makes no reference to a latch. The fueling instructions simply states 'open the fuel door', no latch, no button, no lock. Just, open the door.

edit: I kinda hope I'm wrong, but... All it takes is a screw driver to open the door anyhow. I've had that done before and chipped the paint in the process and that was while it was sitting in my driveway.

that's weird.... what's preventing people from stealing your gasoline? or fucking with your engine? (I know someone who had their gas tank filled with milk from some asshole).

If I recall there is a button on the dash to open door. My 2014 Grand Cherokee has the capless fuel filler and the door latches and locks, I would be shocked if the mustang didn't do the same.
