On a recent trip, I needed fuel on the interstate, late at night, a couple hundred miles from home, and the low fuel light was on. Pull in, get ready to fuel. I could not get the small nozzle (NOT the truck nozzle) in the filler neck, as the flap in the filler neck would not allow the nozzle to "unlock it". I tried a dozen times, aligning the nozzle at different angles, holding my mouth right, then cursing. Eventually, the flap unlocked and all was well. That has never happened before or since. What happened? Is this common? Can I disable or remove that flap?
