Yes, probably you need a new fuel cap.

I don't think the cap is supposed to click, my 02 4.6is cap does not click, take a closer look at the way it's made and you'll see what I mean.

Quote from dealer when he was doing the vehicle delivery instruction: "Make sure you cap clicks three times so you don't get a SEL because it is not tight enough."
My cap has clicked ever since!

I have a 2002 4.6 and the cap clicks. If it used to click and no longer does and you have driven it for some time the way it is and no dash warning than I would guess it is working fine. I would still get a new cap, not that expensive, peace of mind and I like the click.

So in other words...the "click, click, click" is like hearing "yes, yes, yessss"...you know that you've successfully screwed it....on.

Last time I got gas I was there for 4 hours clicking the cap--oh what a night! Or maybe it was 4 minutes.

4 hours or 4 minutes...either way sounds like it was pure bliss...
