I was filling up this morning and I saw something a little shocking... As I removed my gas cap, I noticed that there wasn't a little metal flap blocking the hole. Does anyone know what I'm talking about here? It's a little spring loaded metal flap that pops back into place once you remove the gas pump and blocks the hole, and likewise gets pushed out of the way when you put the pump tip in to fill up. Well, I don't know if I ever had one, but I know I don't have one now.

Do our cars have these? And if so should I be concerned that it isn't there anymore?

 

No ones car has them

 

Ok.... *phew*

I couldn't remember if I'd had one or not. Thanks for the reply. I can stop worrying about a little piece of metal sloshing around in my gas tank.

 

Dumb question. Where is the gas cap release in the interior?

 

You serious...? or playing? the gas tank door release... it is right inside the drivers side door infront of the seat on the floor.

Smitty

 

Alot of cars do have one, including my nissan sentra. It is put there to stop things from accidently going into the tank.

 

They sure do my sisters 93 DODGE Caravan has one.
