Yea so I went to pump gas and I notice that the little metal cover thing where the nozzle goes in is gone. Not the gas tank door that you open with the switch. Not the thing you unscrew but the spring loaded metal cover that closes the hole when you pull out the nozzle. Its just gone. Is that bad?

 

mine never came with one but i know what your talking about

 

I just notice that too. It's gone. I don't remember having on there though, but I didn't pay attention until now.

So, it there suppose to be one or not?

 

i know my xb dont have one.
i thought it was odd, my grand marquis does though.....

 

it was never there actually.. the tC and many toyota's are designed without that flap in the fuel system.. the gases actually are regulated by the gas cap.. welcome to the new emissions systems of 05 and beyond

 

Nope it WAS there I remember because sometimes when I used to fill up at gas stations that had that weird nozzle with the slinky thing around the nozzle (BP, Amoco) there would be a little puddle left after I removed the nozzle and I would have to stick a finger in and 'open the door' to let the puddle fall into the tank. It def was there. My moms 05 sienna has it also.

 

wow ive never looked on my xB. thats really weird.

maybe it pushed down and got stuck in the down position if you did have one?


thats akward.

I swear I had one also but it's gone as well.. I know for sure my Corolla had it and I'm almost positive my tC did when I frist got it until one day I'm sitting there and trying to figure out if I'm seeing things or it was really gone..

My sister took pics of hers when she got it cause mine fell in and now hers is gone 3000 miles later. lol.

 

I remember mine having the flap. I'm going to have to look into that now.

 

My 06 doesn't have one.

*Shrug*

 

Hmmmmmmm...

Does this mean that your tC is no longer a virgin?

(Sorry, couldn't resist)

:D

 

hahahaha

Tom is getting banned

I just went and looked at mine. No one has popped the tank in mine

I remember reading a thread on HT about the flap. Apparently, they were coming apart and fell into the gas tank...

 

LMAO!!!!!

 

yeah...let's stop with the sexual innuendos...

 

My xB still has it's little flap, I know cause I got gas today. 22,000 miles and still going with it. (It's on 04, so I may not have that problem)

 

I have An 05 SSM tC and its still their, thats strange i dont know were it cold have gone, oh well

 

ok guys. So Is there suppose to be a flap or not?

 

^ YES, apparntly its dissapering but not on mine yet
