So I had an issue with the fuel nozzle getting stuck in the fuel filler tube today. I've had instances when it was lightly stuck but easily removed without much effort, but this time it was in there really good and took some time finessing to finally get it out. What worked was pulling nozzle almost vertical and pulling it up and out from there.

However, I wonder if by chance I tweaked the fill tube in my efforts. I noticed my fill tube is slightly off to the right and the rubber shield gasket near the bottom is a bit skewed. Not sure if that's how it always was.

Wondering if some of you guys can post a quick pic of your gas door open so I can compare? It seems like a small thing, but you know how you get something in your head you can't stop thinking about, really appreciate it!

This is how mine looks now....

Thank's guys for taking the time and effort with helping a member's truck mental issues out :)

Really appreciate it! Looks like they are all fine, slight variations seems normal, especially since the tube appears to be "floating" and held in place by a thin metal connector that probably bends slightly over time.
