Minor thing...gas cap tether
 

Gas cap tether - anyone remove it?

I've found that if you use the little built in loop for it and hang it off the fuel door, it still hits the fender - eventually that spot will become an eyesore (black car...) - so, anyone removed it?

Minor gripe, just wondering if I'm being overboard about it...like everything else ;)

The other day after washing the car the gas door lid didn't want to open.Kept tapping it lightly with my finger so to not damage.After about ten minutes of playing it finally opened.Was in the panic mode for a couple of mintes.
I can see some greasy oversized mechanic at the dealers crawling thru my car to fix.What a nightmare that would be.
Must say this Z is full of suprises!

OK, that's relevant. :icon14:

I find it useful not perfect but what is.

If you remove the tether where will you put the gas cap? In the roof? On the pump? Hold it in you hand the whole time? Before you know it you'll be missing a gas cap...

Put it in your pants.

Back Pocket so you can Sit on It.

Just take the whole removing the gas cap thing out of the equation and put THIS on. You never have to remove the cap and worry about it hitting the paint, or loosing it.

lol that is too much lol

I cut that tether off the first day I owned the car. We can't pump our own gas here, and I didn't want the gas pumping moron hanging it against the side of the car like they always do.

I've not really looked at it enough to figure out if there's a "clean" way to remove it short of clipping it - is that what you did or something else?


As for "where" to put the gas cap - set it on top of the gas pump, that's what I've always done with non-tethered caps...

i wonder if this would throw a CEL...

i drove a ford hybrid that had this type of filler cap and it is pretty convenient...

shameless link to a thread i started with the cap :tup:

Thanks noodles :tiphat:

If you hang it off the gas door its far enough away to not touch the paint...

:iagree:
