2PCS Funnels for Automotive Use,Replacement for OEM#8U5A-17b068-EB 1782177 Original Capless Fuel Funnel,Compact Spare Uncapsless Capt Tank Funnel Compatible with Ford

What It Is

This is a set of two compact, capless fuel funnels designed for automotive use, specifically for refueling Ford vehicles with capless fuel systems. They replace OEM part #8U5A-17b068-EB (also known as 1782177) and are intended for cars, trucks, or SUVs that require a funnel to bypass the capless filler neck—often for adding fuel from a gas can or using additives.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your vehicle has a capless fuel system (no screw-on gas cap). This funnel is designed for Ford models from roughly 2005 onward, including Focus, F-150, Escape, Mustang, and Explorer, but also fits Lincoln, Mercury, and some Mazda models (e.g., Mazda6, CX-9) that share the Ford platform. Check your owner’s manual or look for a small funnel stored near the spare tire or in the trunk—if it’s missing, this is the replacement. The funnel measures about 4.5 inches long with a tapered tip that fits into the capless filler neck. It is NOT universal—do not use on capless systems from other brands like Chrysler, Toyota, or GM.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs. OEM: These are aftermarket funnels, but at under $5 for two, they’re a cost-effective backup. OEM Ford funnels cost $10–15 each. Users report they fit snugly and don’t leak, though the plastic feels slightly thinner than OEM.
• Installation: No tools needed. Simply insert the funnel tip into the capless filler neck until it stops, then pour fuel. It disengages the flap valve automatically. Remove after use—leaving it in can damage the flap.
• Common Gotcha: If the funnel doesn’t fit, your vehicle may not have a capless system, or you might have an early model that uses a different design (e.g., 2004 and older Fords). Also, these funnels are for gasoline only—do not use with diesel or DEF fluid, as the funnel may not seal properly.
• Storage: They’re compact enough to fit in a glovebox or center console. Keep one in the car and one in the garage.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Ford or compatible vehicle with a capless fuel system and need a spare funnel for emergencies or for using gas cans, this two-pack is a solid, low-risk buy. The price is hard to beat, and the high rating confirms reliability. Skip it if you don’t have a capless system or want a single, heavier-duty OEM part.
