Here's a simpler version: Your 2014 Ford Explorer may display a message saying "check fuel fill inlet" because it does not have a gas cap. This message could mean there is a leak happening around the fuel filler inlet area. To fix this issue, check that the flap is closing properly as the spring inside could have worn out over time. If the flap is not closing correctly, you may need to replace the fuel filler inlet neck. Look for signs of fuel leakage because that is essentially what this message is warning about. If you're unable to pinpoint the leak yourself, it might be best to take your Explorer to a professional for further inspection.
The check gas tank opening indicator is a signal that there could be an issue with the fuel cap, which may disrupt the proper regulation of vacuum pressure.
