wtf? this is pissing me off.. I brought a 00 si last week and today i noticed my damn gas flap door is missing. It must be in the damn freaking gas tank. tommrrow im going to the dealer to go off on them. There is also a vibrating noise in my car and my brakes are making noises. Im having so much bad luck. Anyone know if anything is gonna be fucked up cuz there MIGHT me a gas flap thingy in my gas tank? Gas flap= metal little door that opens wen u pump gas into the car.

there isnt one there meaning there is just a straight hole leading right into the gas tank? I have a flap on my 00si, so definitely have it checked by the dealer. that's really odd....

yup theres only a hole there now. I bringing it straight back to the dealer tommrrow. So anyone know if it could fuck up anything? Damn i gotta wake up early tommrrow and put back my stock intake on, Does anyone know if I need a extension for my wrench to put back my stock intake? Damn this sucks so bad, i jus got my car last week and all of this shit is happening.

Yup I bought my Si used from Maroone Honda and I don't have a gas flap door either. I haven't bothered to take it to the dealer yet.

not a noobie here.... had to reg again like everyone... anyways.. i don't think we all got those gas flat.. like when i pump my gas, it's jsut a hole... no flap.. i bought my car brand new and so is my friend's sir... so i dunno ppl with gas flap maybe it's the states only cuz i'm in canada

It's very unlikely anything will happen with the flap in the tank. The fuel pump is surrounded by a cylindrical sheild with slits in the side, which trap fuel during cornering to prevent fuel starvation. The likelyhood of the flap getting into the sheild is awfully slim, if at all. Even if the flap did manage to enter the sheild, it's far too large for the fuel pump to suck up anyway. Not to mention, it wouldn't go anywhere anyway if it did get sucked up the fuel pump.

Although, just like you, we're all paranoid. Get that shit taken out of the tank.

So whats the deal? Some people say theirs' came with the flap others say theirs' didn't. Who's right?
