I have a 2005 Flareside and I put gas in today and noticed that the little flapper is not there. So now my question is was it ever there? I think I had one, but since it's not there now, I am not so sure. I have had the truck now almost 2 years and I just can't remember. Any help, Thanks.

 

I just went out and looked at my truck to see, nope there isn't one.

 

I checked as well and there is not one.

 

Thanks, I thought I was losing my mind. Wouldn't be the first time though.

 

Holy crap and I thought I was the only one with that problem mine doesnt have it either. Well I guess my question has been answered

 

HAHAHA the first time I filled up my truck I noticed that! My last few trucks had one so it was noticeable to me. Aren't the flaps bad for pressure etc.? I'm not sure what these are for.

 

My F150 doesn't have a flap, but I had to go and check...

 

flapper??? the little "tongue" thing that always catches the tube when trying to siphon gas?

 

i noticed this about a month ago too, it really started to bother me so i planned on going to the dealership after class to check the trucks on the lot.

 

Nice....

This is actually quite funny because I think I remember having one, but when I filled up today there wasn't one there. So I don't if I was something before or maybe I saw one when I was filling up another vehicle. But oh well.

I guess I could look at my dads truck and all the other vehicles we have and see if one of them has one. But I'm not too concerned.
