Gas Cap Holder

Gas Cap Holder
I searched, couldnt find anything on this subject. You know the place where you put the gas cap when refueling, normally there is a slot on the backside of the gas door for it, our boxes just have a crappy plastic hangy thing that makes the cap rub on the body. Anyone know where to get one, and or have u fabricated one?...it looks like there is a place to install one, being there are holes for bolts on the back of the door..just a thought!

There is a post from a while back of someone finding a Honda part I believe that can be glued or taped onto the inside of the gas door, even had the Honda part number and was supposed to work pretty well...

Im gonna check today I have been thinking bout it in the past My IS300 has a little hanger peice that hangs the cap by the teather and it just clips on the frame of the gas door Im gonna go see if it will work on the Box...

Sounds cool and you'd think it would be perfect with it being a Lexus part...keep us posted and get us a part number if it works! Could you also check if an is300 engine would work as well, heh heh...

I did it after reading that post also. It works really well. I just went to a Honda Dealer and got the part(i cant remeber the part #). All you have to do though is cut off the tabs from the back of the holder and then stick it on with some doublestick tape.

great idea BUT it costs $$$. I took a large ziptie looped it around the center of the lower inner bracket of the fuel door and aimed it up then cut it off with 1 inch of ziptie left sticking out. Then when you remove the gas cap just drape the tether over it and it keeps the cap away from the paint until you're finished. cheap and very useful

I did something similar, except I was too cheap for a zip tie. . . j/k.
I'm not sure if the xB has it, but on the xA it is a remotely opened gas door. There is a little piece that locks the door to the body when you close it. I just drape my gas cap with the tether thingie over that piece. . . works nicely! :D

I've got a suggesstion for anybody who wants/needs a gas cap holder, and it's FREE!!
1) Unscrew gas cap
2) Remove fuel filler nozzle
3)Place gas cap in cradle for fuel filler nozzle
4)Fuel vehicle
Instant gas cap holder
Always there
Always "FREE"!

On the xB the only thing that the tether reaches is the spring tap that pushes the fuel door open and it slides right off tried it a couple times and cussed it out then came up with the ziptie

hey saint inorder to do that you'd have to remove the tether altogether that means possible lost gas cap, i've seen too many of those sitting on the pumps

he probably meant the hook for the cable which is on the fuel door

possibly. . . that's what I thought but I had posted it earlier so I guess not. I was guessing he meant the cradle for the gas pump. . . but that makes no sense either because again it is attached to the car. Anyway not a biggie.
Jethro mentioned that it couldn't work for his xB tho cuz it slides off. . .
Luckily my xA hooks in real nice.
