The ‘quality OCD’ in me doesn’t love it. For sure. But TBH i don’t think it’s THAT big of a deal and can eventually be resolved. I have heard some say it’s the valves and that makes sense but I have also read someone explain that this also ‘burns off’ water in the exhaust system and then...

Couldn’t resist Rapid Red.

2022 with 3/16/22 build having this issue. I literally thought one or both mufflers were loose but it goes away in under a minute (50° to 70° here). The fact that it goes away kind of eliminated the loose part to me. Glad I found this thread. A dynamic issue with the valves definitely makes...

Truck is home.. with a functioning fuel pump lock ring. They said I there was literally gas sloshing out at certain times vs just a spray.. they did not love having to even run it on the lot until it was fixed. .. did notice I seem to be getting slightly better mpg

So that’s what 37 PP stood for.

I do think it was an actual fire risk.. fuel effectively spraying out top of tank where fuel pump is.

Brand new truck.. only had week. I was smelling light fumes within a day or so. I grew up restoring/wrenching with my pops so not a stranger to getting under cars. At first I thought it might be the open exhaust but after examining engine bay and rear of vehicle I just got under it with a...

Determined to be improperly seated fuel pump lock ring. Bed coming off for the repair today.. Ford shop, not me.

I’m going to let Ford do it under warranty.

Found the ‘source’ - this hole in the plate/guard under the gas tank has fresh fuel leaning out of it. Not enough to drop but can see the fuel. I just got under the truck.

Not topping off. Any chance running exhaust modes Sport & Baja could have anything to do with it? I definitely do not smell it in the engine bay.

UPDATE: Just spent 15 minutes letting the engine run with the hood up. Did not smell any gas fumes from the engine bay. I had the truck in Normal exhaust mode. Walking around the vehicle I thought I smelled a HINT of gas but nothing major. I then let the truck idle in Sport exhaust mode and also...

Have a couple hundred miles on this truck & have noticed bit of gas smell while driving/exiting the vehicle. I’m windows down majority of the time. I’ve also been in Sport or Baja exhaust mode a LOT as my son requests every time we are in the truck. No dripping/puddles on driveway. Didn’t see...
