Tundra stock gas cap has a plastic cap by the spring. Does the gas cap need to be replaced?

Asked by dlenahan May 10, 2016 at 08:18 PM about the 2011 Toyota Tundra Grade 4.6L V8 Double Cab RWD

Question type: General

Stock gas cap had a piece that is round with a half moon cut out that fell off
and got lodged in my filler neck and had to pay $330 to have it removed. I am
a little nervous about replacing the gas cap and having the issue again.

1 Answer

I appreciate your response. They charged me to run a camera down toe fill neck and saw something lodged at the gas tank. Then they had to remove the tank to get the piece out. It wasn't until later I discovered what the plastic piece was from. I told the service dept and they looked amazed and couldn't believe it. That was it. I tried a after market gas cap once and in a short period of time the check engine light came on.
