STANT InStant Fill PN 41004 Gas Cap

no issues to report as of yet, no CELs and no water build up given a normal washing at the house...

another good thing, it has been raining everday the past week and no water build up from the rain either...

i dont believe there is any, why i say that is because if there was evap then I would get CELs...

I can see that point, I just can't believe something with a spring can create a tight enough seal to allow for no evap.

ford is using this type of gas fill on some their 2009 and up vehicles...

On fords? Last I remember, their fuel doors don't lock. Hoping they changed that for these

the hybrid i drove had a door like ours...locks when driving (autolock at 15 mph) or cars locked...

Just started using the STINT 3 weeks ago. Upto today I have done nothing but short mileage runs with the 370Z with no SES......Did a long trip of 160 miles and the SES (Service Engine Soon) light with an error code of:

P0456 [EVAP] Very small evaporation leak in fuel system - less than .02-inches. Check fuel cap.

This is what my diagnostic reader picked up, I just cleared the code using the diagnostics device. So I do believe that using the STINT MAY cause an SES under long continuous driving trip conditions.

The literature seems to support this as well as there are reports of people that use a STINT device in other vehicle models and have gotten the same occassional SES error as identified above.

interesting, thanks for the update...i myself havent been on any long trips, just to and from work...

i wonder if a trip to Austin will trigger a CEL...

Let us know. I'm interested in it, but I already have a fear of gas evap (which I already voiced) and ZKindaGuy kinda proved.
