Hi, I'm about to buy a second hand car from a dealer. The car is a 2011 1.6 Ford Focus Saloon. I seen the attached electric wires exposed where the fuel goes in. The dealer said he didn't know what it was but said it would be fixed if I bought the car. Am interested to find out what it is though. Any ideas? Thanks, Raw

That vehicle is not sold here in the states, so really don't know what that is. It does look like someone at one time has had the filler neck or inside paneling apart. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

I think it's an igniter designed explode the fuel tank during fill up.

No, am not a spy! It looks bad to me and am suspicious that there was some repair done here. I'll speak to the dealer today and see what he says.... Thanks.
