1. A method of sealing a fuel filler neck assembly, comprising: installing an anti-siphon sleeve inside a fuel filler neck so that a flange of said anti-siphon sleeve is seated on a rim of said fuel filler neck;securing a base within said anti-siphon sleeve by seating an annular shoulder of said anti-siphon sleeve in an annular groove of said base, said base having an opening for the passage of fuel and a circular segment base with a recessed portion;providing an O-ring around said opening;securing a biasing structure to said recessed portion;pivotally attaching a hinged closure to said recessed portion, said hinged closure movable between: a closed position wherein said hinged closure is biased into sealing engagement with said O-ring to seal said opening and prevent fuel from escaping; and,an open position wherein said hinged closure is moved by a fuel pump nozzle to unseal said opening and allow fuel to flow through said opening. 2. The method of sealing a fuel filler neck assembly of claim 1, wherein said biasing structure biases said hinged closure toward said closed position in absence of an external force on said hinged closure. 3. The method of sealing a fuel filler neck assembly of claim 1, said base further comprising a cylindrical outer surface and a cylindrical inner surface, said cylindrical inner surface defining an interior passage as said opening. 4. The method of sealing a fuel filler neck assembly of claim 1, wherein said hinged closure is a door having a domed top extending upwardly into said opening when said hinged closure is in said closed position. 5. A method of closing a fuel tank, comprising: providing an anti-siphon sleeve having an interior;installing an annular base entirely within said interior of said anti-siphon sleeve, said annular base comprising: a passage receiving a fuel pump nozzle, said passage extending between a top edge and a bottom edge;a cylindrical sidewall having an upper groove; and,a base protrusion extending below said bottom edge;surrounding said bottom edge with a seal;securing a pivotal door to said base protrusion, said pivotal door comprising: a biased hinge mechanism;an annular flange; and,a convex top surface;wherein said pivotal door pivots between: an open position wherein said pivotal door unseals said interior passage to allow fluid flow; and,a closed position wherein said pivotal door, biased by said biased hinge mechanism, seals against said sealing member to prevent fuel flow. 6. The method of closing a fuel tank of claim 5, wherein said annular flange seals against said seal and said convex top surface extends substantially into said passage when said pivotal door is in said closed position. 7. The method of closing a fuel tank of claim 5, wherein said annular flange is unsealed from said seal and said convex top is outside of said passage when said pivotal door is in said open position. 8. A method of sealing a fuel tank, comprising: installing an anti-siphon sleeve inside a fuel filler neck so that a flange of said anti-siphon sleeve is seated on a rim of said fuel filler neck, and a bottom of said anti-siphon sleeve extends beyond a distal end of said fuel filler neck;providing a base that defines an inner end wall, a cylindrical outer surface including an upper groove extending at least partially around a circumference of said cylindrical outer surface, and an inner surface that defines a circular interior opening for the passage of a fuel pump nozzle;movably mounting a closure structure on said inner end wall of said base via a pin, said closure structure having a central dome extending upwardly;securing a biasing mechanism to said base, wherein said biasing mechanism biases said closure structure into a closed position on said base such that said closure structure covers said circular interior opening of said base and said central dome extends into said circular interior opening;securing an annular sealing member to said base, said annular sealing member engaging with a peripheral portion of said closure structure when said closure structure is in said closed position; and,wherein insertion of a fuel pump nozzle moves said closure structure into an open position such that said central dome is substantially spaced from said circular interior opening.
