Fuel Fill hole flapper missing?
I went to fill up my TSX last night, took the gas cap off and noticed that there was no little flapper door covering the fuel fill opening. Is there supposed to be a flapper there or is it supposed to be a big gaping hole?

it is spring loaded and it more than likely got stuck up. Has it gotten pretty cold in ND lately? Vapors could've frozen it up. Take in to Acura to get checked out.

Doesn't have one...never has. Honda/Acura started phasing these out several years ago.

Guess I'm going to be looking at lunchtime.

What kind of cheap, inferior, piece of crap do we drive?
I never noticed.

no flapper?
I'm glad someone posted this - I just noticed it myself - I never had a car without one - so not having one is a bit weird to me. Has anyone confirmed that this is a standard omission from the TSX (via dealer or Honda/Acura) or are we really missing something? Kind of leaves the fuel tank open to debris getting in if you don't seal it up quickly after refueling wouldn't you think?
