So I went to the gas station today, and prior to fueling I filled up my tank with a bottle of Techron cleaner. Once the bottle was empty, I threw it away and began to pump gas as I normally do. Right before I was about to screw the gas cap back onto my vehicle, I noticed that the little metal trap door that you usually see when you look inside where your insert the fuel dispenser nozzle into your car was missing. I used the flashlight on my phone to see if maybe it was lodged or stuck in the filling tube but I did not see anything. Once I got home I grabbed a better flashlight and checked the tube again to see if it was lodged in there, in addition to sticking my finger in there to feel around. I didn't see anything, and could't feel anything either.
So now I'm wondering...maybe my car did not have one of those little metal doors to begin with? In all honesty, I very well could be imagining that I had one even though I didn't, as I am constantly refueling my work van, and my girlfriend's car, in which both vehicles do have that door. After googling it, I read in some other forums in which people stated that their vehicles didn't even come equipped with one to begin with. Has anybody else run into this before? And if so, is this something that I should be concerned about? This is on the vehicle in my sig.
