Never mind... I read the articles and I think I understand it. It's sort of like a check valve? Sounds like a ****************ty design though. I'll see what I can figure out. I really appreciate the help!

I found this little 'thingy' hanging out in my gas filler cap access.
Any one have any ideas what it is? - maybe it has something to do with that hole below the filler tube? (although I think that's the drain hole)

It is actually a very well thought out design, if that flap was not there, under hard cornering loads, liquid fuel would literally come up the filler tube and create other issues.

No, I get the purpose! Great purpose! Poor design having it controlled by a solenoid. It seems there could be a more efficient way, though I'm not a Porsche engineer.
Super thanks to you, though! I found fuse E6 was blown. Over two years trying to figure it out and I never though to check a fuse for the gas filler neck... Man... I feel defeated.

Now put the EVAP system, which never did anything wrong, back where it belongs.

That is definitely going to reduce the car's resale value as not everyone can live without it.

I'm not at all worried about it, but thanks for your guys' concerns! I don't plan on selling it anytime in the near future, so it will only be my problem
