What?!?!

You should have a metal flap that flips up, and underneath a screw on cap where the nozzle goes.

New vehicle, still under warranty? Stealership time!

yup, sounds like you have had a shocker...cant imagine it would be sat inside your fuel tank though.

The gas filler door is plastic - under that is the screw on cap but I think what the OP is refering to is the metal door that folds away when you insert the nozzle in the fuel neck. Yes that should be there and it is possible its fallen into the neck of the filler tube - get it checked!

You guys really need to lose "THE SKY IS FALLING" mentality here. There IS NO FLAP inside the filler neck.

Man am I going crazy? I swear it was there 1 re-fuel before...

Well if you don't have one... that makes me feel a bit better. We all might have it sitting at the bottom of the tank =(

What's the flap for anyway?

Nah, you're cool, Gumpy. Problem solved once again by the cool heads at the370Z.com

Maybe it's a hymen? :bowrofl: You broke your Zs cherry with the first fill-up. :tup:
