Gas Cap Hack

Gas Cap


I hate it when there is no lock notch on the gas nozzle when you are filling up and you have to stand there and hold it the whole time. My dad taught me that you can wedge the gas cap in there instead. It always auto-shuts off still so don't be worried about it overflowing or anything. Use the extra time to clean your windows.

Thanks for the heads up Sam :)

Actually I have a feeling this might be prohibited in more than one state...but i liken it to not always wearing your seat belt.

Great tip! I used it on the way home tonight, and it worked as advertised.

Well, that'll beat my method of holding it between my thighs while I pump. It'll save from leaving strange marks on my legs--

Uh...yeah...#^_^#

cam (may I call you cam?)..in New York, the gas station attendants kick your ass if you step out of line. I've still got bruises from when I failed to turn off my cell phone while pumping. gas.

Nina: I'm sure you can make use of your old method elsewhere

Sam: Haha. I'm guilty of that one too. And not shutting my cell off on a plane either. :X

Sam: Yeah, You can. I'm guessing you're joking when you say you have bruises from a gas station attendant. If not, you can throw the guy that touches you in jail. That's assault and is illegal.
