FORD 2014 Focus v.1 - Manual (Page 157)

Using the Easy Fuel™ Capless Fuel System
WARNING: The fuel system may be under pressure. Insert the
fuel nozzle slowly. If you hear a hissing sound near the fuel filler
door, do not refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray
out, which could cause serious personal injury.
When fueling your vehicle:
1. Put the vehicle in P (Park) and turn the ignition off.
2. Open the fuel filler door.
3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle
fully into the fuel system, and leave
the nozzle fully inserted to open
both doors until you are done
pumping. Hold handle higher
during insertion for easier access.
4. After you are done pumping fuel,
slowly remove the fuel filler
nozzle—allow about five to ten
seconds after pumping fuel before
removing the fuel filler nozzle.
This allows residual fuel to drain
back into the fuel tank and not spill
onto the vehicle.
Note: A fuel spillage concern may occur if overfilling the fuel tank.
Do not overfill the tank to the point that the fuel is able to bypass the
fuel filler nozzle. The overfilled fuel may run down the drain located
below and in front of the fuel filler door.
