TheYoungGinge Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 First of all i'm new to the Ford Owners Forums :) I own a 2012 Mk7 Fiesta Zetec S and my fuel filler system seems to have a metal bar stopping me from inputting the fuel nossle, was wondering if any of you guys had experienced the same problem? The car is going to Ford tomorrow to see what they can do, hopefully it's a quick fix! As you can see from the photo it has a metal bar which is stopping me from filling up! I have 10 miles of fuel and it needs to get fixed :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTitanium62 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 That's really odd. My mate has mk7 and hasn't got that. I know it sounds daft but It almost looks like it's not meant to be there. Can't see it being a major issue though. Hope you get it sorted budd.

TheYoungGinge Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 After some fiddling around turns out some idiot had placed a small magnet in the fuel filling system. It's all freed and sorted now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheYoungGinge Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Probably because the best car in the car park is a 1995 clio. Jealousy I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 You can buy a lockable cap for the easyfuel system but I've only found them on overseas sites. http://accessories.ford.com/locking-fuel-plug.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYoungGinge Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 I like how easy it is without the locking system although if it happens again I may need to look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 who on earth would put a bleedin magnet into the filler? lol Whoever they are, they are clearly an idiot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy45 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 When I looked at the photo I was going to say it looked like a magnet. Someone's not fallen for one of those miraculous gadgets which 'ionises or magnetizes' the fuel to give you more mpg or power? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
