A question about the gas thingee -- the place where you stick the nozzle.

[petesimac]

Does your gasoline nozzle accepter -- what the hell do you call that tube that goes down into your tank -- move when you insert the nozzle to gas up? It looks like it has some sort of rubber flange and that rubber gives about a millimeter or so in all directions. Is this normal? How are yours' (yourses).

Mine does the same.

i tripped out when i realized that there was no shutter or opener or door .. i dunno .. you know when you put the nozzle in there's usually a plate that moves open and when your done it closes .. missing on my car.

I wish you could post a photo of what you're trying to explain...

My Yaris has a little door and a gas cap, and all seems right.

he is talking about when you open the door and take of the gas cap that you are just staring at a gaping whole, many cars have a little shutter the flaps open when you stick the nozzle into the hole to fill your tank
:thumbsup:

I filled mine today, no shutter

Is this there to stop gas vapors from escaping?? I just figurd it was to mess with people trying to syphen gas from your tank .:thumbup:

[brickhardmeat]

yes, I am sure it is there for vapors and probably to keep cigarette ashes from blowing in there while your pumping and having a smoke.:laugh:

You made me go out and look. Mine moves around and also has no flappy thing in the filler tube. It looks fine, wierd but fine.

Never noticed....but glad to be rid of them after about 25 years of wondering why they were there in the first place!!!!
