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

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.

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.
