    Default Gas cap?

    My gas cap never really gets tight, it just spins and clicks like its broken?

    Sounds broken. Does it click and continue to click and spin? If it does that's normal. If it doesn't click you probablly need a new one.

    It will keep clickspinning if you try.

    Gas caps are cheap, when in doubt, throw it out.

    Last night at the gas station I saw a lady turn her gas cap like 3 full turns after it started clicking. If she was only smart enough to realize it wasnt getting any tighter after the first 3 clicks

    Yep same here. GM dealership sounds like it's trying to make money or something is actually wrong with it.

    Slightly off topic, I love the tether on the gas cap. Back when I had my yota I was always leaving the damn cap at the station

    The VeeDub has this real nice slit out of the side of the Gas Cap... so that you can set it onto of the fuel door.

    Real nice. I'll have to take a picture one day and post it up.

    Yep, just wish I didn't have to sit it on paint...

    The problems of being a professional detailer, I suppose.

    When last driving the Ion in NJ the idiot pumping the gas took the cap off, looked at the tether then YANKED the cap off so he could set the cap on the trunk. Now I know why they have such restrictive gun laws, or do I know why such idiots continue to live? IDK.

    I should have known when a 40something came out to pump the gas to move on. If that's your ambition in life to pump gas I don't want you near flammable liquids thanks!
