After a snow storm capless fuel fill froze. Was unable to insert fuel nozzle to fill tank.
- Groton, CT, USA
Fuel door freezing shut. Water getting in fuel neck and freezing. Unable to put fuel in vehicle because of this. Many people may try to heat this with open flame or heating element and cause safety issue.
- Plymouth, MA, USA
Ice forms between the outer flapper and the inner flapper of the capless gas tank in the fuel door. This prohibits the owner from placing the fuel nozzle into the filler neck to add gasoline to the vehicle. This incident happens when outdoor ambient temperatures reach freezing. It is more likely to happen when it snows, rains, or the vehicle is taken through a car wash.
- Thornton, CO, USA
There is a problem with cap less fuel filler system. Water enters filler area either from rain or car wash. In cold weather, water freezes and you cannot get gas filler pump into cap less filler tube in vehicle as ice forms blocking entry. Vehicle owner is likely to use some form of heat to melt the ice, which could result in a fire or explosion hazard. My vehicle was stationary when this happened, at a gas station. It has occurred on two occasions.

Water leaks in to the capless fuel filler and freezes creating an ice dam that prevents fueling the vehicle.
