Do they still have a, or same fuel cap & filler neck? or has that changed to flap type or fast fill like the race cars? my friends wives Focus Diesel has the fast fill fuel fill op you don't unscrew anything you just push pump nozzle in & fill, they are good, but hard to brim with.

Just push to open and close, this can only be done when the doors are unlocked. It still has a fuel cap.

Do you usually brim the tank?

If so, be interesting to see what is the actual capacity of vayda to fergie and whether the tank is larger, smaller or the same.  But also the filler pipe length will probably be different anyway so may not get accurate comparison.

The comparison will be accurate, but the figures may differ.  :whistler:

Yes it's a push flap situation.
And as stated above, it only works when the car is unlocked.
