Some Lincoln vehicles (2009-2014 MKS, Navigator, 2010-2014 MKT and MKZ; and 2011-2014 MKX) equipped with the Easy Fuel capless fuel system may exhibit a concern where a fuel nozzle cannot be inserted and/or removed. This may be caused by a problem with the fuel station nozzle. The sleeve at the tip of the spout may be missing, not allowing the nozzle to be inserted, or could be loose, now allowing the nozzle to be removed once inserted.

Verify normal system operation by attempting to insert the Easy Fuel funnel (supplied with the vehicle) into the fuel tank filler pipe. If the funnel does not insert normally, replace the fuel tank filler pipe. While this will require a very inconvenient field service, if the fuel station nozzle is stuck in the filler pipe, remove the single hex head set screw at the base of the spout near the handle cover. Twist and pull the nozzle handle to separate from the spout. Once separated, the fuel tank filler pipe can be replaced.
