mcali6301 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Today I received a "check fuel inlet" warning message. I checked the little silver door in the fuel fill area and I am able to just push it open with my finger without engaging those side buttons. When I let the cap close, it does not close enough to let the latches on both sides lock it into place. Any suggestions aside from replacing parts?

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Clean it by inserting the capless funnel and twisting it back and forth in the inlet a few times. Don't fill more gas than first click. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcali6301 Posted March 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Tried it. Did not work. shortly after, the CEL came on and most likely relates to this issue. Car at dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcali6301 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 They replaced the neck and filler pipe. Thank goodness for warranty... $100 vs $450. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
