Loosing fuel but not visible in my 2000 Ford Expedition, also oil gauge seems to be reading high.

Codes P1450 and P1451 show up, and ran diagnostic. The diagnostic machine can not find the problem. I know I'm losing fuel somewhere because I'm watching my fuel gauge. Also, oil dip stick smells a hint of gas. Any suggestions on the problem?

Did you fix the trouble Codes? Both are fuel related. There is a test done with a special machine called a "Smoke test". This could also find out if there are holes in your fuel tank and where.

The failure of your system to maintain Vacuum pressure is a good indication the fuel system has an opening.

SOURCE: crown vic oil change

Some of them have an oil plug at the front of the pan, as well as the regular one. You have to drain them both. The front one only holds a quart or less.

SOURCE: Oil dip stick handle for Ford Focus ZX3 broke off.

Drill small hole in what's left inside the tube - insert bolt extractor - pull out dip stick. Material is relatively soft so drilling is easy. Buy new dip stick.

Ford expedition ran out of gas

Ran out of gas and What?

Won't start?

Could have ruined an already worn fuel pump

Turn key on/engine off should hear pump run
for 3 or 4 seconds

Check fuel pressure if it runs with a gauge on
injector fuel rail or with a professional scan tool
data.

Try spraying the throttle body to see if it will run

Try disconnecting the battery AFTER you check for
codes,stored data, etc & write down what you get

2000 Ford Expedition My Expedition (4.6L V-9 2WD) has had an intermittent problem of cutting out. The Check Engine light was not coming on - so I figured it is not a misfire. It drove just like it had...

Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0446 or P1450 indicates that Self-Test has detected the Evaporative Emission Control System has excessive fuel tank vacuum. Also, a DTC P0446 indicates a vent control malfunction.

Possible causes:

EVAP canister purge outlet tube (EVAP canister purge valve to EVAP canister) blockages or kinks.

EVAP canister tube (fuel tank to EVAP canister) blockages or kinks.

Fuel vapor elbow on EVAP canister contaminated.

Restricted EVAP canister.

Canister vent (CV) solenoid stuck closed (partially or fully).

Plugged or contaminated CV solenoid filter.

EVAP canister purge valve stuck open.

Fuel filler cap stuck closed (no vacuum relief).

VREF circuit open in fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor.

Damaged FTP sensor. (fuel tank pressure)

Check for kinks or bends in the fuel vapor hoses/tubes (EVAP canister purge outlet tube and EVAP canister tube).

Visually inspect EVAP canister inlet port, CV solenoid filter and canister vent hose assembly for contamination or debris.

Check CV solenoid filter for blockage or contamination.

The common things I've seen are are mud in the canister and the canister vent solenoid being shot or the wiring to the canister vent solenoid being torn off. The resistance of the solenoid should be 48-65 ohms..
Pick up a Chiltons book and will give you a diagram of where exactly you find the canister. They are like $15 at any auto store. Good luck

1999 Ford Expedition error code P1450

P1450 = Inability of Evaporative Emission Control System to Bleed Fuel Tank.

This means you have either blockage or a leak in that system. Or possibly your charcoal canister is bad. Do you regularly top off your gas tank? This is usually what makes a charcoal canister fail.
