Did you slide out the spare tire? You will find it in the foam insert.

 

Thank you. I would hate to show my ignorance to the dealer. LOL!

 

hi all. Anyone know where exactly this thing is? I can’t find it. I’ve looked everywhere…in the under bed trunk, glove box, under the trunk lid, AC plug side cubby, first aid kit, under seats, around the spare tire, everywhere. It’s got to be somewhere!
thanks!

Did you try looking it up in your Owner's Manual?

Yes bill I did. That’s why I posted here. There is no funnel on my spare. Figured it was stuck somewhere else.

 

On top of the spare. Remove the two wing nuts and slide the spare drawer out.

 

it’s always in the last place you look

 

Hum……if it said “there’s no funnel as shown in the owners guide”……that little blue book in the glove box.🤷‍♂️ Page 124 ‘17 MY.

 

It’s a mystery now. No funnel.

 

Check your glove box or storage areas in your doors. Dealership might have moved it.

 

I have looked everywhere. Maybe I got the new custom invisible edition model! I’ll get a new one, no problem.

 

Might as well treat yourself to a Christmas present and get another funnel and the transmission shift tool. Two items you will be glad you have if broken down.

 

.......and way too big to fit in the thin Owner's GUIDE in the glove box.🤦‍♂️LOL

 

It's in the trunk. Like it says.

 

nope

 

Open the trunk

Slide out the spare tire

Bam, right there on top is the funnel. In the trunk.

 

One thing that comes to mind is, "no gas, no squeegee." Maybe the dealership took his funnel, because he would not pay for any add-ons.

 

Ha! The thing isn’t there.
And I probably paid for pretty much every package and add on for the RTL-E. Utility package. Function + package. Dealer package. Tinted windows. Nitrogen tire stuff. Trunk dividers. Netting. Etc.
Anyways, the dealer will give me one. I just need to go there and get it.

 

A missing funnel is not terribly uncommon. Its such a small detail that it could easily be overlooked. contact your dealer.

 

Yes. All good suggestions that I already did!

side note…..another ROC’er just posted this:

Fuel Funnel to the rescue!

I found myself more than a 1000 miles from home in my '20 RTLE and checked the oil level before another long series of drives. Hmmm, oil was a bit low, just showing in the 'safe' zone on the dip stick. I had a spare quart in the trunk, but when I went to add it I realized this was going to...

OMG! Find out how much this funnel will cost. Let me know and I’ll send you a check to go buy on. In the mean time never let the gas gage go below 1/4 tank.

Wait. Are we talking an OEM funnel? If so, I probably can’t afford it. Never mind. Keep looking!!!

Gusto!

 

Free. Well, $45,000 maybe. Grabbing it at dealer tomorrow.

 

It seems to me if the dealership keeps the funnel in stock then the ball got dropped at the factory. Maybe the assembly line funnel installer ate some bad tacos the night before.😱🤷‍♂️

 

I bought a spare, to keep with my gas cans, about $3.

(Okay, so I'm a little OCD. I rotate my stock of gas in the cans for mowers, etc. If it's been in there too long, I pour it in a vehicle and get fresh in the cans)

You may be OCD but that's just a good idea.

 

It's actually OCG.
Because it's a gift.

 

I just use a healthy dose of STA-BIL in the gas can…..mowers/trimmers start every time.

 

Funny, never read that on any of my Honda's.

 

Thanks for all the replies. I guess some people don’t really read the posts Yes, I learned where the thing was supposed to be, but it wasn’t there. There’s a perfect foam cut out spot for it but the funnel was not there. The dealer got me one. Thank god I have this critical $45,000 part now!

Side note… The dealer actually suggested to keep it in your glove box or anywhere other than hidden there by the spare tire where I guess it can be a pain to unload stuff in the bed to get to it if needed.

Yeah but ya gotta dig all that stuff outa the bed to get to the gas can in the trunk anyway!

There are several aftermarket funnels that will work just fine for adding gas to the RL. The neck of the funnel just needs to be the same outlet diameter (or very close) as the factory version, and at least as long. The funnel neck exterior must be completely smooth so that it will not snag any of the inner parts of the capless fuel filler neck.
