Ok, I've only had one vehicle that was not a Ford, a 96 Ram, and it had a round fuel door. All the rest have been 92-96 body style Fords and the 85 Ford I have now and they all had square doors so I guess round ones don't look right to me.

I believe they have been designing it for like 10 years or so if I remember what I read. And they did very extensive testing go to the website and watch the videos they are pretty neat. I saw one in person they are at the local dealers here now they are beautiful. I couldnt get inside it though it was after hours and were all locked

I think it was a square door from at least the 70s, maybe older(i don't know much about anything older than 73) up to 97.

The gas door also has to be bigger than normal since the fuel fill up and the urea tank fill up are both in there. If it was round it would be huge.

I wonder how many people are actually going to go to their dealer to have the urea tank filled?

I'm sure you'll be able to buy it by the gallon at napa and autozone and all them soon enough, if you already cant.

The VW's with urea injection will actually only let the car start a set amount of times (maybe like 12) after the tank goes empty. If it isn't filled at the dealer the car will fail to start after that 12th start, and will then have to be towed.
