No I was serious. What a stupid place to put this.
Dumb question, why can't you just pour it in through the fill nozzle? Seems like it would be way easier and you wouldn't have to worry about spilling gas in the back go your truck.
The fill nozzle has a spring-loaded flap that will close. You need something to prop the flap open, the funnel holds the flaps open.
418 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from the vehicle s battery, even when
not in use (i.e., cellular devices, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough without engine
operation, the vehicle s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent
the engine from starting.
REFUELING IN EMERGENCY Ȧ IF EOUIPPED
The vehicle is equipped with a refueling funnel for a Cap-Less Fuel System. If refueling is
necessary, while using an approved gas can, insert the refueling funnel into the filler neck
opening. Take care to open both flappers with the funnel to avoid spills.
NOTE:
In certain cold conditions, ice may prevent the fuel door from opening. If this occurs, lightly
push on the fuel door to break the ice buildup and re-release the fuel door using the inside
release button. Do not pry on the door.

CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not "top off" the fuel tank after filling.
Emergency Gas Can Refueling:
Most gas cans will not open the flapper doors. A funnel is provided to allow emergency refueling
with a gas can.
See below steps for refueling:
1. Retrieve funnel from the spare tire storage area.
2. Insert funnel into same filler pipe opening as the fuel nozzle.
3. Ensure funnel is inserted fully to hold flapper doors open.
4. Pour fuel into funnel opening.
5. Remove funnel from filler pipe, clean off prior to putting back in the spare tire storage
area.
