Just received my C8. Great car and great job. (My latest of many vettes that I have owned). Past have been evolutionary. This one is revolutionary.

Anyway probably way below your pay scale but have several brief questions that perhaps you can assist in pointing me to the right person.
Owners manual references on page 206 "locate capless funnel adapter" . However it gives no clue where it is located. Don't want to start disassembling new C8 (lol)
to find a hidden compartment. Also assume no lug wrench or basic tools also in a hidden compartment since could not find any reference as well.
Concierge attempted to assist but ultimately sent me to dealer who also was at a loss.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your time and trouble.

PS Good move eliminating chrome wheels as option. If you bring it back add tail fins as an option to complement the design.

With runflat tires and no jack, also no lug wrench. GM sells some optional accessory tool kits, but you can probably make you own for a lot less money.

I know where the funnel was on the C7, but that location doesn't exist on the C8. Hopefully your dealer didn't throw it away because he didn't know what it was.

Funnel comes in the bag with the floor mats in the trunk. On my dealers vehicle I put it in the front trunk storage net. Check there and the glove box. It a small funnel that you use to fill tank from a gas can.
