As the person behind the wheel of a Ford Escape, seeing the "check fuel fill inlet" warning on your dashboard might cause some concern. But there's no need to panic. This light is simply alerting you that the fuel cap on your tank may be loose or not secured properly, leading to evaporative leaks at the fill point that are detected by sensors. Fortunately, this issue is easily fixed by pulling over in a safe spot and tightening the cap. Once you do this, the warning light should disappear.
Make sure to regularly check and replace the fuel fill flap and cap. Additionally, remember to change the fuel filter about once a year as it can impact your gas mileage.
The gas cap was left open.
