macbwt Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 A fan (some distance away) would create enough air movement to prevent vapor pooling of gas thus reducing chances of fire. Old EPA attitude the solution to your pollution is dilution. More air less hazard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodips Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Do you have AWD? That is a bit more labor as you have to remove catback and driveshaft to get to the fuel tank. Otherwise it's disconnecting a bunch of lines & brackets. I'd think aftermarket SS would be cheaper to get this done at. Canister and solenoid are underneath the vehicle, under the passenger seat area approximately, from the diagram posted earlier, near as I can tell. No direct fuel tank involvement. The closest thing I can find by your description of the vent is the BT4Z-9D667-A part, which is Fuel Vapor ReturnTube Assy Part Includes 9C052 Pressure Transducer It's FWD. It would be nice if a vid was available or at least a description of what tools are needed to R&R the canister. Specifically if you need one of those line lock removal rings (like are used to unlock the vent tube) and what size is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodips Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) ******UPDATE****** I ordered and received the EVAP Canister and Canister Vent Solenoid. This morning I went out, jacked up the drivers side to install the new parts. Under the drivers door there is a composite splash shield that has to be removed to expose the EVAP assembly shield. What I found interesting and concerning is the words "Do Not Jack" on the shield itself. This makes sense as you could damage the Solenoid/Canister which "may" have been what happened to begin with. What's concerning and really stupid in my opinion is that Ford designed said shield and went as far as to stamp on it in big letters only to hide it under an unmarked splash shield where it'd be real easy to mistakenly place a floor jack and not know. Removal/replacement took about 1 1/2 hours though now I could probably do the job in about 45 minutes. Easy peasy, code cleared and CEL went away not to mention it accepts fuel now. :happy feet: Edited April 12, 2015 by twodips 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hope that pesky CEL remains asleep, nice work! Yeah, interesting about the warning on the shield. Wonder how many mechanics have actually used it as a jack point? Hmmm ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well being that you don't even know it's there due to the large splash shield (4 feet long) covering that whole section I'd bet a whole lot of tire people and home mechs have hit it at least once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookin Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 My Edge just developed this CEL/cant fill issues. The Edge was parked all weekend. I got in to go to work and the CEL was on. Ran ok so I went to work. Stopped for gas on the way home and could not get much fuel in like others here. Took it to the dealer and they have it now. Is there a service bulletin on this? Waiting to see what they say. I'm still under warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timesaver Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 2013 Limited. I too am having same issue. I am beyond disappointed in FORD over this. It is clear this should be a recall with so many people having this issue. This is my first Edge, but I had 6 Explorers before this car so I have been very loyal to Ford. Now I am beginning to question my choice with the Edge. Come on Ford you can build these cars better than this. $$$ to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are only done for safety reasons. What you probably meant was they should extend the warranty on the evap cannister and purge valve and I would tend to agree. With the exception that at least some of these problems are caused by people overfilling the fuel tank. Ford shouldn't be on the hook for that.

Tjm623 Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Already got the answer I see, but my guess was going to be the purge valve. Wife's old Santa Fe started having same symptoms small amount of gas or it'd stop pumping. Would take forever to fill up, that's exactly what it was for her.

dmchesser Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 2012 Edge SE 130k miles. Same problem. EZ Fuel filler won't accept fuel. Takes about a gallon then shuts the pump off. Solution: replace the EVAP charcoal canister with attached solenoid vent valve. Jack up the drivers side front and back, remove the plastic/composite cover (4 10mm screws and 4 plastic rivet/clips), remove the canister assembly (3 12mm screws) and detach the single electrical connector at the solenoid and 3 hoses. Boom. Installation is the reverse. Easy job. Took maybe an hour with "help" from my 17 yr old son. Shop quoted me $500 for the job, I did it for the price of the assembly ($250 at my Ford dealer) plus an hour of my Sunday. Code cleared and it fueled up like a champ. Good luck to others with this same problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Good info I have to always remember to not fill past the first click LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Good info I have to always remember to not fill past the first click LOL. Now you tell me after like 1000 tanks of gas not to fill up past the 1st click. Edited January 30, 2017 by macbwt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 I suppose it takes more than 1 click of a gun to warn you too! Jaded, LOL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macbwt Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Isn't there a video for that? I will make one just for you. Or course it will involve multiple clicks on the pump handle got to top her off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
