gas tank metal piece missing
today when i was filling up my tank i noticed something weird..
u know, after u open ur gas tank and take of the cap there usually should be a piece of metal between the hole and the cap... cuz my avalon has it.. GS has it.. mx6 has it and accord has it.. and mostly everycar i know has it. but MY CL doesnt have it..
can any of u guys check if u have.. if u do then i guess ihave to bring my car back to the dealer....
mucho gracias

Do you mean a place to put the cap? I don't understand.

If it's that part where the hole is, kinda like a flip cover for it right? I had it on all my old cars too.
I don't have that on my TL either. I think they are made that way.

I think that's how the car knows when your cap is not on all the way and the dash lights up the service message or something... Just my guess.
I hope it didn't fall into your tank! Haven't noticed mine.

You aren't talking about the restrictor that prohibits you from putting leaded gas into it are you? Those are used anymore on some cars because there is no leaded gasoline sold anywhere in the US.

this topic answers a question i had in my mind too...i only see my car a few times during the year, and the last time i saw it, i filled the gas tank and it felt different taking the nozzle out...so i looked and didn't see the flap.
i thought it fell in, but i couldn't confirm whether i had one or not.

The "flap " is no longer required and as such is redundant and no longer used.Jens
