When my fuel filler hose broke (pictured above) I got no codes. The whole thing was confusing until I bothered to look at that hose. I did think (at times) that it was somehow leaking into the car as well, and on an Escort, at least that's more plausible since you do remove the back seat to get at the fuel pump.
