They started that in 2010 models. In order to get a tube into the gas tank you would need to push in the 2 side clips in the "gas hole" Anyway... the problem is that if you run out of gas, you cant just stick in a gas can nossel... so they include a special funnel adapter in the spare tire compartment. At first not having a gas cap was weird but now i really like it. By the way... what are you doing putting gas into a test drive car?

I love the capless filler, works great. Once for some reason the pump didn't stop when it was full and started gushing gas out, but I think that was the fault of the nozzle and not the capless system. As for filling the tank if you run out of gas somewhere, 1. I try not to run out of gas. 2. There is an included special funnel in the trunk.

Ford's answer to people that can't put on a gas cap and end up at the dealership getting the CEL reset. I would hate to see how much a year they were paying in warranty claims for evap leaks.
