My explorer is throwing an evap code.
Upon closer inspection it appears that the part where the gas cap actually screws to has a crack in it.
I have no idea what this part is called…I don’t think its part of the filler neck and I definetly doesnt come as part of the gas cap.
Any thoughts?
i think i know what your talking about…
try one of those “autopartstrain” sites they would most likely have it
I cant quite tell if that has the piece on it or not…
that looks like it…the part that screws/bolts onto the body…
i cant imagine it looking any different than that.nice find
I am charging my camera battery because I am not convinced that is the right part
im not good at it but try to find those black and white part number sheets…thats should tell you
Here is the pic.

Def would throw a code in my experiences, a year or so ago my dd’s gas filler neck rust through and the whole in the tube threw an EVAP code.
looks to be a craked filler neck. You could try sealing it w/ silicone install the cap clear the code and see if it returns. Filler necks are sooo common these days
I was thinking that…any suggestions for an epoxy or type of silicone? esp in these temps?
Napa sells a sweet 2 part epoxy that sets in 5 mins. i’d go with that. Remember an EVAP leak can be as small as .020 in.
Does this epoxy have a name?

jb weld FTW
Looking at that filler neck, i’d suggest you look farther down to make sure the rest of the neck is good. That isnt that difficult of a neck to replace (i dont think, pat??)
its an easy swap…just get a new one and be done with it
yeah I was looking at it today…pretty easy deal.
