We just passed through Caliente a few days ago, traveling from Phoenix to Seattle. The entire trip was 1446.9 miles, and we averaged 19.5 MPG overall, mostly driving between 70 and 80 MPH.

If it's broken, I am sure you could bring your truck to your local Ford dealer and they will order the part and fix it for free.

Ya the plastic post is missing but I don’t have time to take it to Ford and Waite for them to order the part if I can do it my myself will just be quicker and I am sure it will Happened again because that plastic post is not very secure In its housing

Hi all,

I just picked up my Powerboost Platinum today. The fuel door is properly closed but the ajar message kept showing up on the dash. The service department was closed when I picked up. The message go away once driving, but every time I turn on the truck, the message comes back. I have no idea how the fuel door mechanism work, I only see a rubber tubing on the door and didn't see any latch. Looks like it's pneumatic. Anyone has the same issue? I saw that only the hybrid has the remote fuel door, very strange.

Laujoyjoy… I have same issue 2021 Powerboost Limited. Fuel door ajar, gotta press “ok” to lose message ,until next start. Now, Fuel door won’t open by dash button…., got to use fingernail. There’s no latch at all in the little hole opening, just a little collapsible rubber boot that goes in the hole but doesn’t connect with anything. I think it fell down in there. (because when it first happened I could see it in there it was kind of crooked. I touched it and now I don’t see it) I wonder if I could get it out myself or do I need to bring it in just for that stupid little thing?

If you are able to locate the missing piece, that's no harm to try to reassemble it yourself. Otherwise, you better bring it in for service and have them order the part and install for you. I think you can keep driving the truck and clear the warning message at start up.

There is a little plastic rod about an inch long that is supposed to be in the tubing you mention. It falls out very easily, fortunately I found mine when I returned to the gas station I had just left. Therre needs to be a fix.

Ok so just Temporary fix for all of you they don’t like to see anything on your dashboard and before your check engine light will come on and even if your check engine light came on by doing that it will go off I open the Fuel door and pushed plastic pin inside Till you hear a click press ok when you get any Message display on your dashboard that your fuel door is open And Dawn use the fuel door opening button on the cab

OK to fix fuel door ajar on a Ford F150 to 2022
If you want to do it yourself very easy $75 or take it to dealership I was just thinking that I cannot lose my truck for a few days I’ll waste my time to go to the dealership so check out this YouTube that I made

Mine did the same thing today. I drove back to the gas station where I fueled up and found a small plastic plunger that fit perfectly into the port beside the fuel fill. I had to press it in a couple times to get it to lock in place, but, when you release the fuel door the plunger shoots out across the street. Error message goes away as long as the plunger is in place. Dealership says it’s a month before they can work on my truck. Keep track of that plunger till Ford can find a real fix.

One more picture. I was just at the gas station, so I decided to take a picture with the pump nozzle in. It appears to me there is plenty of room between the pump handle and the locking pin on the door. I suppose you could bump it if you really tried, but it looks pretty unlikely to me.

Thanks after seeing your photos I was able to go out to the truck and re-install the plunger in the correct location. Still very nervous about this setup.
