This might sound weird
 

In all my cars when I fill up the gas tank I usually have to push the fuel spout against a little metal flap and then let it rest in the feed line.

Do our cars have that little flap? Because the last time I filled up I didn't see one there and I'm afraid I might've pushed it in too hard.

Lol :lol:

I'm not laughing at you. I'm just remembering the first time I fueled up my BRZ and had the same experience you did.

There's nothing wrong with your BRZ :thumbup:

Ah good to know I thought I broke it off haha :lol:

No flap. Thought it was odd myself. But I guess they feel the flap is redundant with today's sealed gas caps.

Flaps left Integras in 1998 or 1999 IIRC. None of my recent cars have had flaps, but some crappy rentals have.

Ford doesn't even use a gas cap anymore, at least not on the F150s, not sure about the rest of their line.

Yeah my mustang has no cap. Wife went to fill it up when we were bringing it home, wish I'd had the camera when she popped the fuel door! :)

Why no gas cap/flap? BECAUSE RACE CAR.

So this is why a loose gas cap will throw a CEL? If I had to choose, I would go with the flap.

lol, i haven't had a different car till this year, i thought the "no flap" was a subaru quirk.

Filling up BRZ or Girl?
