Hello,

The check engine light came on yesterday on my 2008 ford focus. I went to the gas station yesterday afternoon and the tank acted as though it were full. It continuosly turn the gas pump off and everytime I pulled the nozzle out it hissed. I took it to the autoparts store and they read the code and it was p1450 - Inability of Evaporative Emission Control System to Bleed Fuel Tank. Any suggestion? Thank you

The fuel system consists of: à   a mechanical returnless fuel system. à   a standard fuel tank. à   fuel, vapor and brake tubes in an integrated bundle assembly attached to the underside of the vehicle by retaining clips. à   a fuel filter. à   a 1/4 turn-type fuel tank filler cap. à   an inertia fuel shutoff (IFS) switch. à   a fuel pump (FP) module containing: à † an electric FP, which provides pressurized fuel to the fuel rail. à † a serviceable fuel level sender. à † a check valve, which maintains system pressure after the FP is shut off. à † a pressure relief valve for overpressure protection in the event of restricted fuel flow. à   a fuel tank filler pipe containing: à † a recirculation tube. à † a fresh air hose. à † a restrictor plate to permit only unleaded fuel to be pumped into the tank. The fuel tank filler pipe cannot be modified in any way. The vehicle is equipped with electronic multiport fuel injection that is supplied by a mechanical returnless fuel system.
