Huh? That is the strangest concern I've ever heard....

Does gasoline eat away paint? (the answer is NO).......

My Stant's been working just fine for months now..

Guess I need to rescind that.....The door flap inside the cap fell off a few weeks ago. Maybe only 5-6 uses too....

The pins on the flap popped out of the pivot point on the Cap. It just dropped down to where the metal necks down for the filler. I didn't even notice it at first, but the nozzle wouldn't go in all the way. Unscrewed the Stant Cap and fished it out. Looks intact so I may try to fix it...

So it sounds like it is impossible for the flap to actually fall through into your tank, correct? If not, that would be kind of scary.
