Didn't take a picture after I popped it back out.

It almost pulled the filler cap THROUGH the quarter panel at that point.

Not likely to happen on short trips....but I was running hard non-stop from fill up to fill up on the highway..no time for the vacuum to equalize from any imperfect seal. But I did stop for food and restroom breaks before hitting pumps for fuel....so it didn't seem as bad when I did pull the cap off than it would have immediately after getting off the highway.
