Capless gas cap

I have recently purchased a new Maverick with a capless gas filler pipe. The pipe has some plastic fingers that get pushed out of the way when the filler hose is inserted. I am curious what people have experienced with these systems. They don’t seem to be a true seal. Are these systems any better than the old-fashioned gas cap?

Not a new thing and there is nothing to worry about.

No, removing and installing a gas cap is good exercise for your arthritic hands.

Had one of those for 15 years on my MKZ, no problems. If you park outside, check that debris doesn’t collect in the filler area.

We have a 2013 Ford and a 2018 Cadillac with capless fillers. Never a problem and there’s no gas cap to leave loose and cause a check engine light.
