hole where gas pump nozzle goes in
When I pumped my gas today I noticed that after I removed the gas cap and looked in where the nozzle goes, I saw that there was an open hole for the nozzle to go in, but I seem to remember some kind of cover or "door" that used to spring open when the nozzle was inserted. Am I thinking of another vehicle or is it supposed to be an open hole. Can someone check and see what it looks like when the cap is removed? I am worried that something broke and fell into the tank. Thanks

If you get real close - and use your lighter or a match to see in the pipe.... Just joking (for those leagaly minded - do not try this at home - or anywhere else for the matter). seriously - no flap on this car - 2001. Tink

there was a post a few months ago about the exact same thing... there were a lot of responses, you might want to search for it.
