How to refuel a Ford vehicle with an easy-fuel cap in case of emergency

Model: Ford Ford Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

They should know that Ford cars and commercial vehicles have a very special fuel filler cap, called "easy-fuel" that is not protected by keys or complicated locks, but on the other hand prevents fuel theft and reduces the possibility of refueling with the wrong fuel to almost zero. However, if we find ourselves in the situation of having to top up the fuel from a canister, things get complicated. How to do? Assuming that Ford cars are all delivered with a special funnel that serves this purpose, if we are temporarily without it, we can follow the instructions of the youtuber and move the two flaps with a key, just enough to insert a spatula (to avoid damaging the flaps we use a plastic tool!) and then pass the tube of the canister.
