I started having a p0451 code on my 2014 f150 5.0 with 115k miles several months ago and I would clean the cap less fuel area and clear the code and it would go away for a few months then come back on. Well I done this several times but now the code will clear but then immediately come back. I don’t have a high dollar scanner like yours but I wonder if it wasn’t the fuel cap less fitting at all but something else like this problem. From what I understand it can be 4 or 5 different parts for this one code
You are correct it could be a sticky purge or vent solenoid, line leaking, skewed pressure sensor or the capless system leaking. There are many economical scanners out there that will read data and do testing. Check out Thinkdiag
Hey Phil thanks for reply. I finally got under truck and took pictures and yes its in the line like your video.My truck is a 2013 ford f-150xl with a 3.7 flex fuel. Thanks again Phil.@@PhillipBailey
Smart owner, looks like it’s been Krowned, rust checked, oil sprayed or something. No rust underneath, and you sound Canadian ( you also used,kilometres) so you know how these trucks rust. makes it easier wrenching too, I imagine.
9L3Z 9J279 C was the number on this truck but you should confirm by the vin number as there are a few different ones depending on the wheel base and tank size.
I don't know why some of you guys making videos on working on gas tanks you don't drop the drive shaft gives you so much more room to work on the tops of the tank. it doesn't take that long
The tank is at least one third under the cab so I'm not sure how accessible that line is from the top. You will also need at least 3 people to lift the box, 4 preferred. Good luck and let me know how you fare.
Great video and tips Phil. I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos along with your dry sense of humor sprinkled in. Keep them coming
I appreciate you watching!
I enjoy your videos I always pick up something from them thanks for sharing your knowledge
That's great! I appreciate you taking the time to watch them.
9L3Z-9J279 C am I reading that part number correctly? And is this the 36 gal version?
@dhonnoll78 9L3Z 9J279 C is correct but check with the dealer by vin..I'm not sure what the size of this fuel tank is.
Great video. Very helpful

@@PhillipBailey thanks
Nice video. Does the customer get to keep the fuel line that you did not use?
I guess if he really wants it he can have it for sure. I did keep it though as it might come in handy one day...
thanks for the video Phil. i have a 2013 3.7 flex f-150 does that also require buying the hole line or just sensor thank you,
I believe it is sold with the line but best to call the dealer with your vin

Yes to all. Canadian eh...
hi cant make out that part number. can you post it? having trouble finding that part on amazon.
9L3Z 9J279 C was the number on this truck but you should confirm by the vin number as there are a few different ones depending on the wheel base and tank size.
I don't know why some of you guys making videos on working on gas tanks you don't drop the drive shaft gives you so much more room to work on the tops of the tank. it doesn't take that long
I did drop the back section of the drive shaft in this video. Really the only way you can get in there between the muffler and tank.
He said he dropped it ya knuckle dragger.
Hi great video. One could you post the part#? Is it a Ford oem part? Thanks
9L3Z 9J279 C but check with the dealer by your vin
I broke my vent valve hose connector can i just leave it or is it important that i repair it?
If you don't fix it and it leaks it will fail the evap test and illuminate the mil. It should run fine though.
tks
Does that fuel feel line part fits a 2013 f150 5.0 flex fuel ?
Sorry but I'm not sure it would be the same
What is the line called that you’re replacing
Evap Vent Line.
Could I get that part number by chance?
9L3Z 9J279 C was the number for this one but you should verify that with the dealer by your vin
can i do an evap gross leak test using forscan?
Since I've never used Forscan I can't answer for sure but I think so. It appears to be pretty capable software.
@@PhillipBailey thank you for the reply. Ill look into it some more, its a very handy free program.
That was great.. yea these auto engineers makes one wonder what their divorce rate is..
Would it be easier to just take off the bed if I don't have a lift
The tank is at least one third under the cab so I'm not sure how accessible that line is from the top. You will also need at least 3 people to lift the box, 4 preferred. Good luck and let me know how you fare.
