Is my car missing this?
Isn't there suppose to be a little round metal slat that covers the fuel tank hole that retracts when you put in the fuel nozzle? I just noticed my '03 doesn't have it. Is it suppose to be like that or is it missing?

It should be there, I have a 2003 SE and its there.... If it somehow fell into you're fuel tank, I don't think it could pass through the fuel pump / line, too large.
I'll double check tomorrow when I'm filling up though, just to make sure.

Neither my 02 or my 03 had it. I posted on this a while back; I thought it was strange, too. Neither my son's Honda or my other son's Acura has it either. I guess it is something manufacturers figured they could do without, or at least, regulations changed so that they could eliminate it.
I don't guess it is a problem; just don't drop a lit cigarette down your tank!
