I want to put Sta-Bil in the gas tank as it will not be driven for approximately 2 years. The 2012 has no gas cap but some form of lock that only will take a gas nozzle. How do I get the 6oz. of Sta-Bil into my gas.

Hi,

It sounds like you have a capless filler tube. Most of these vehicles came from the factory with a specially designed funnel to add fuel with a fuel can.

Watch this video :

As far as the location, check around the spare tire area. It should be there. If not, check under the front seats.

Let me know.
