Go to fillup the f150, open the fuel door, unscrew the cap...and something catches my eye...the small circular door is gone. In case you are lost, its the small 1.5" metal door that protects crap from falling in the tank and is just big enough for the nozzle. Anyways, it can only go one way and that way in into the tank.

I checked with a flashlight and dont see anything, and I even felt around in there thinking it may have been stuck.

Calling Ford tomorrow (thank god its under warranty), I just couldnt find any info about this and I hope this hasnt happened to anyone else. I swear, ive had some weird s%^# happening lately.

 

AFAIK my '07 never had one.

You're absotively, posilutely sure it had one?

 

i think you didn't have one. i was like wtf too when i did my first couple of fillups. but it was never there. there's been a couple of threads about the same topic b4.

 

I could swear to god it did, hmm...

 

My 05 screw never had one.

 

I think they stopped using this when they came out with new bodystyle in 04.

I will attest to this as well. My 04 Screw 5.4L also does not have the flap in the fuel filler neck. I, too, thought this was strange, but found out it is supposed to be that way.

thanks guys...i guess i didnt know my F150 as good as i thought i did, i will go hide now

 

My 05 FX4 HAS one, I wonder whats up with that. Maybe I'll ask when I go pick it up tonight at the dealer. (31,000 and finally getting the camphaser and lifter TSB done)

 

Just checked and my '07 doesn't have one.

 

note - there is a gas plug "fairy" that comes around and steals everyone's little flaps when their trucks are left alone... getting a bunch of them to take to the local scrap yard for some money for gas

 

I think maybe someone is stealing our gas tabs to go along with the aluminum pop tabs they are collecting for that one kids dialysis machine...

FWIW, put me down for no tab on the 04 XLT.

 

Same here, no plug-flapper or whatever its called in my 05 SCrew FX4.
