    If the mules consume it, or get busted with it, what's left of them will fit in the sunglasses holder. You fucketh not with the cartels!

    So have we determined if we are supposed to have a the "flapper" covering the fuel hole? After reading this and having my truck overflow with fuel today at the gas station I check and I don't have one either.

    I'm thinking no flapper is standard. In the 14's, anyway.

    Mannn I was at the Temecula CHP checkpoint when I was a teenager and saw a couple of officers light up a dude in an old Nissan Hardbody. They were two vehicles ahead of us in our own 1991 Hardbody and after dragging the dead guy out of the car they let traffic go around. I've also seen the Federales go full auto on a car at the border on the way back from Ensenada. Cartels, Mexican Govt, US Border patrol/CHP...no people I want to piss off any given day.

    sorry for the thread jack

    The flapper doesn't stop the gas pump.

    If it didn't automatically shut off the pump itself was probably defective or very old.

    Correct. I would fill my 1st Gen to till it automatically shut off. Then I could consistently put in another 2 gallons, which was great for long highway drives or going to areas where no stations were around. Of course I eventually got the P0440 code because I had ruined the canister. But in no way does that canister shut off any fuel from going in the tank.

    I think it is the fuel tank Hymen that goes away after the first full tank.

    Just learned something. So if the canister is malfunctioning, will this valve block gas from entering the tank?
