What year is your car? Mine is a late 30 which has the tab style, which if it is pushed down on too hard can bend the tabs up and it falls into the tank.


Had this happen on my late 30. Pulled it out through the gas gauge hole. Had to collapse it as I pulled it out using a pliers. Still was a PIA, and is one of the reasons I did not replace it. I am careful and make sure I ground me and the nozzle tip to the radiator shell before sticking the nozzel into the gas tank.
