When you remove your filler cap, does your gas tank have a little hinged metal cover that gets pushed aside when you insert the pump nozzle?

I believe it's there incase you forget to put the gas cap back on; it will help keep the gas in the tank. (Liquid and gas form) But why do you ask?

I stopped by the dealership (Autowest Honda in Fremont) yesterday and looked at the filler hole of a brand new silver 2001 Type SH sitting on the lot.

Nothing but a hole.

My dad is really smart w cars also so I went home and asked him, I told him I have been hearing this alot from people with 5gen ludes. He was quite puzzled though!!! I guess it is sitting at the bottom of my tank? No worries if it is it can'nt get in the fuel system..... I hope
