Celica Forums General Discussion General Gas Tank Valve? You got one?

Hey everyone sorry for the dumbass question.

Yesterday I was filling up and noticed that I could see into my gas tank, on all of my other cars their is a silver "valve" that the gas nossle pushes out of the way in order to put gas in. I am missing this, I called the dealership and they said the 2000 celica GTS does not have one of these, could anyone with a GTS confirm this for me??? Thanks!

i dont have one... i have a GT.

None here, 02 GTS

Interesting thanks for the responces!

I was always thinking the same thing...I could have sworn I had one the first time i gassed up but then it was gone. Guess I was seeing things!

Yeah, I told my friend once that my gas tank looked like a vagina or something. You could see right inside.

I was just trying to figure this out for myself... i could have sworn that I had one at one point in time, but I don't now. The other odd coincidence is that my gas gauge isn't working right. I'll fill my tank up completely, and the top notch on the gauge doesn't stay lit. I wonder if that valve might be hanging out in my tank and causing problems.

I didn't think there was a valve, but it sounds like one of your sensors may be shot. I don't know if the Celica has many sensors, or just one that floats with the gas and measures it that way, but either way it sounds like a sensor problem.

that's what i was afraid of... i wonder if my stupid a$$ dealership will fix it under warranty

I'm still under that platinum warranty thing, and I think it still might be covered under that, but I'm not sure. I'm at work now but I'll be home soon and check it out for ya.

does it taek a while for the second line to go away if so maybe you have a burnt out led on you gas display. i would have it checked atthe dealership.

is it any bad not to have that thing? btw why didnt they put it on the celica? all other toyotas have it. wuts the purpose of it.
