Hey, can any of 3 gen (99) protege owners tell me if they have a what looks like a small metallic lid at the filler nosle? I was talking to a mechanic about my gas tank problem and he told me that that little part might have fell off into the filler nosle and is blocking incoming fuel.... I dont remember having one but want to check, just in case.

 

I have a 2003 P5 and I don't have what you're describing. I know what you're talking about tho, it's like a little aluminum door/flap thingy that opens when you push the gas nozzle through right? If so, my P5 doesn't have it and I'm almost positive other 3rd gens don't either.

 

hm... dont think mine has that, will check @ lunch

 

Nope. None on mine.

 

no flapper dookhicky here -03msp

 

Ok thanx everyone. I didnt think there was, but this mechanic had me double guessing myself so i had to check.
