THANKS E.Meyer!

Confession... when I'm that frustrated, I hate any brand : )

Not CHEAP aftermarket tools either... more frustration.

Had to look that word up... guess I was a bit caustic... too much
frustration. Nissan just seems to be the brand that is difficult to get
parts easily. They're not really the worst though... only second to
Infinity. Not counting SAAB. I don't work on those anymore as everyone I
know got out the habit of owning those.

THANKS again! I did not know that. I was doing pretty good at keeping my
temper in check, until I wasted a bunch more time online trying to search
out this problem and yielding nothing but the usual garbage. Every website
on the planet now has everything you could possibly search for worded on
their site to get you there. I'm going there next and download everything I
can!

My experience so far is quite the opposite. The Mercury Villager isn't
Ford. It's rebadged Nissan. It's Nissan in disguise.

Attitude better today! Now for the rest of the story. Second trip down the
driveway and the abs light went out. GREAT. Next, heading down my road to
the highway, I stomp the brake for a couple of abs activations and all seems
fine. Well then heading down the highway about 5 miles and the front left
brake overheats. Bring it back, remove wheel,... brake barely dragging now,
but still a definite drag. Had to release pressure at bleeder. Then all is
fine again. Start it up, stand on the pedal, release,... problem gone.
Bleed and top up fluid... no air and fluid looked clean. Seems the abs pump
left pressure on it for some reason. Hopefully it will never do it again,
but I warned him it may have an abs problem. No more trouble so far, 20+
miles with numerous stops including a few deliberately heavy ones. I DIDN"T
try another abs stop but warned him if he does he may have a problem after.
But maybe not. It's really a good abs system in that you normally never
know it's there. I can't say that for Fords of that era.

Do Nissan Versa's have the round silver flap in the gas filler
tube that springs back up after you pull the gas nozzle out ? I
noticed there wasn't one on my 2009 Versa last time I got gas.
Thought there used to be one there.
Car runs fine, no codes.
What would the repair involve? Not removing gas tank, I hope.
Thanks

It's not really to stop evaporation, there's a direct connection to
space between flap and cap though the vent tube anyway. It's to stop
you sticking a LEADED nozzle in and filling up with LEADED.

You are mostly correct, but the flap is only useful when combined with
the restrictive hole in the filler pipe. There is an insert in the
filler pipe that has a hole that is designed to exclude leaded fuel
nozzles (leaded nozzles ae too big to fit in the hole). The insert is
down in the pipe, leaving clearance for the fuel cap to screw into the
top of the pipe. The flap keeps you from circumventing the restrictive
hole. If you didn't have the flap, you could just hold the large
nozzle in the pipe and let the fuel drain past the restrictive hole in
the the insert.
