But now you have to hope the gas jockeys actually use them. That whole "can't pump your own gas thing" is some funny caca. And another reason I hate delivering freight in Jersey.

 

They will use the cap holder, I am sure.
And they don't usually top off the tank blah blah blah.
I just took my Outback Sport all the way up to Nova Scotia and had to pump my own gas which was no problem and a novelty, but everytime I got back in the car my family complained how stinky I was for at least 30 minutes. I guess it was fumes. So, as a consumer I guess someone pumping my own gas is OK.

 

If you had fumes on you, your are doing something wrong. LOL I hate the whole idea of handing my credit card to someone to pump my gas and not top it off. My van usually holds another 6 gallons + after it first clicks. They make me leave with only a little over 3/4's tank of gas everytime.

 

I guess its subjective.

 

Just ordered two from the local Honda dealer (one for my new RS 3.0 and one for the local dealer dolly who has one). Not in stock there but at the local warehouse with one day turn around. The warehouse wanted to know ho come theye're selling so many.

 

Did you happen to explain it to him?

 

No cause it was passed thru the parts guy. I'm giving one to my Scion salesperson in the Honda bag for her XB with a suggestion that they get a bunch and install in all XB's

 

The clip-in method did not work after 2 fill-ups!!

I shaved the back of the holder and used the 3m VHB tape on it.

Now its more level too.

Anyone else doing OK with it just clipped in?

 

Evidently Scion beefed up the reinforcing crossbar and made it too thick for the clips to work, or the new cap holders have changed. I also cut off the clips and double sticky taped it on. I also cut off the lanyard as it tended to want to pull the gas cap back out.

 

Yea.....I ended up using the tape. I used the bottom clip in the grrove on the door and used 2 pieces of the 2-sided-tape stacked and worked perfectly. I also cut the strap from the door and the gas cap so they can't let it hang & bang!

 

Regarding the perma-cap.

I had one for my old Saturn and they would not pass it for emissions (PA) with a permacap. I kept a regular one to throw on for inspections and then put the perma-cap on.

Thx guys Im ordering mine on Monday. I never thought about getting one from a different car lol My moms Rav4 has a metal one welded to her gas door. but this plastic one seems a better deal than welding one on. plus I can buy the Touch up paint for my RS 3 and paint the new gas cap holder to match the car so its not this black thing in the gas door.

 

Wow, yours is real high up!

I have mine riding along the top of that bottom brace frame thing.



Is paint gonna stay on this thing? It may not be worth your while and it will chip off.

Its basic flat black and no one sees it.

 

hmm, so anybody have luck with the permacap?
