That's a bummer. I guess I just got lucky.
Do you top the tank off? I think I've read here if gas is pumped ++ after nozzle clicks off it can flow in to the charcoal canister, causing problems. Maybe someone else can chime in on that subject. I estimate what it will take to get close to Full tank, then back it off a few gallons. It did take some time for the code to not come back after the new Ford cap.
Lastly, I was told by the service advisor, shop foreman and Director of service at the ford dealer it can take well in excess of 100 miles to not have the CEL come back on. I thought it was 50 miles. I almost went through a half tank of gas before it finally went away, after a dozen+ driving cycles and probably close to 200 miles. I was doing a lot of fwy driving too.
I forgot if it keeps the code as 'pending' until mileage, driving cycles are met, even if cleared.
