Hi all,
I recently replaced the leaking fuel filler neck on my '14 Expedition due to a persistent EVAP code, fuel wetness inside the body panel under the inlet and of course a fuel smell. The complete saga is here (https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/p0442-and-capless-fuel-filler.372479/)
I cautiously filled it up from about 1/2 full to full today. Set the pump on the lowest setting and got underneath with a flashlight to see if I could see any leaks and it all seemed to stay dry. Drove about 30 miles and waited to see if the CEL or Fuel Inlet warning would come on and it seems those are all clear for now. However I noticed on a later trip that there's a fuel smell, not in any particular area near the back of the vehicle directly after a drive.
What do I need to check next? The filler neck hose clamps and vent tube part of the filler all seem tight. I tried to look around underneath for a charcoal canister for other associated EVAP equipment underneath but wasn't able to locate it.
