My gas thingy is missing (the round metal thing that flops open when you fill in gasoline) my guess was its inside my gas tank, can this metal thingy will damage something in my gas tank? thnx for any help/info

 

the trap door thingy? that little round metal bastard(1inch diameter)?

your fuel pump screen/filter should block it out.

if you want to dump the tank and take it out, well, have fun, you need to do it under the car with a bunch of gasoline, alot of work

 

The door?

or the cap?

if its the door as long as you have a cap on there you should be fine.

im guessin you can just ride with it............theres no way that piece of metal will ride through all the lines and into your engine

 

The 6th generation Fill tube was designed differently and did not have that metal safety door. So you did not lose it in the gas tank.
