Harvester Capless Fuel Fill Door

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

Scout, please make the Harvester a Capless fuel fill door. I don't want the old style gas cap.
I have a 2010 Ford flex with a capless fill door and I recently sold my Ford Bronco also a capless fuel fill door and I love that feature.


The Capless Fuel Filler Explained​

Ford pioneered the capless fuel filler by making the feature standard first on the 2009 Explorer SUV and its Mercury-branded twin, the Mountaineer. Before spreading to other models, the capless fuel filler appeared on the 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck and the Ford Flex and Lincoln MKS SUVs.

The system is simple. Instead of a fuel-filler cap, which twists onto the neck to seal the tank, the capless version features a spring-loaded flap that automatically latches shut. To fill up, the driver needs to open the fuel-filler door and insert the pump nozzle. There's no gas cap to take off and put back on.

The GM Capless Fuel Filler delivers the following benefits:

  • No fuel cap to use
  • Helps keep hands free of dirt and fuel
  • Helps prevent disruptions to the closed fuel system and “check engine” service visits
  • No dangling fuel cap to scratch painted surfaces while fueling and no caps to potentially forget when driving off without closing it
  • Mechanisms in the fuel filler neck make it nearly impossible to siphon more than a few gallons of gas
  • A vapor recovery system built into the fuel filler means fewer fumes escape to pollute the air

Why Did Gas Caps Disappear From Some New Cars? [Update] - Jalopnik

If you've got a fuel tank, you need to put a lid on it, right? Wrong. A number of cars across several brands now come without gas caps. Here's why.

Welcome to the community! I didn’t even know this was a thing. I will have to look it up.

Welcome aboard. While I’m not really looking at Harvester this is a very convenient feature which really every new car should offer. Nobody wants to touch gross gas and grime covered external parts

my flex has it and I love it! If I ever have another vehicle with a gas cap I will be in trouble. I will never remember to put it back on at this point - so I have to get the BEV, right?
