Found out my truck was supposed to come with this "capless fuel tank
funnel" but it didn't. Missing in action. I just ordered on on
Amazon because they are inexpensive.

There are two flappers that must pushed open in order to
add fuel or anything to the gas tank. A portable gas jug's nozzle won't
penetrate both nor will any bottled gas additive that people may swear by.

I was reading why this capless design is being included on newer
vehicles. The reasons are varied, some not making any sense to me,
but not worth listing. They would start a huge debate. :-)



Anyway, it sorta looks like this:

Did you look in the area around the spare tire. That's where mine
is. The salesman was kind enough to point it out to
me.



I didn't think to check there. I will.
