Fuel filler cap dangling?

[Damo H]

Its a while since I've owned a Mark 2.

However having just educated our very own @Legojon I thought it maybe worth sharing this handy bit of info again:

Shame on you @Legojon...shame

4 options... I don't know which to vote for... . Let me just re-read the options...

Also... @Jimbobcook... help, they're picking on me again!!

Must....Not...Edit...Poll...for...humour...value...

In all fairness I let mine dangle lol very gently though

You say that you don't want it hanging on the paintwork but the outside of the filler cap is the paintwork...

I personally think that it dangling may do less damage than leaning it on top of the filler flap thing as dangling pressures are less than hanging ones lol

To be fair...I didn't know the mk3 had a holder until like 3 days ago...

Can we have that as a poll option and I'll change my vote? That's exactly the reason...

Do it!!! It was my poll and I insist you do it I thought the dangle was suppose to be an innuendo anyway haha!

I used it for 3 years with no ill effects. Dangling it can slide across the paintwork in the breeze or windy day. Where as it just sat nicely on the flap.

I didn't know until I went to an attended petrol station half way round the NC 500 when some old woman came out and hung it up in the holder. I was amazed. I didn't realise nobody knew about it or I woke have posted it up lol

But at least the Mk3 doesn’t have a picture in the manual (that I can find anyway).

In my defence, I've read the MK2 manual cover to cover and I don't remember seeing anything about the fuel cap. Maybe they stopped using red ink to save money (like they did with the red paint).

Your a man, we don't read manuals. Maybe thats why you didn't know!

To be completely fair, it was me moaning about it on here when I got my Mk 2 that meant other people told me...

My first ever thread on SCN in fact:

. I dread to think what my first thread was... we should start a thread "what was your first thread?". I think it was something like "what tyres should I buy?". Not realising I could have used the search.

Mind definitely blown!

I didn't know this...but then....the fuel cap snapped off so...I just place it down at the pump.

 

[Sharpy]

Erm... what now? I’ve owned this car 12 years and never have I known this.
