Someone explained it to me once, that without the part that makes the hole smaller, the splashback trigger that the pump uses won't engage; thus my ruined paint.

I'm actually really interested in seeing what it is that does that in the car. Every silly thing that's in new cars these days seems to be missing from the old ones and I'm always amazed.
I wouldn't worry over that gasoline spillage anyway unless you got it painted at maaco.
