Filler Cap

Post by PeetieM » Wed Dec 05, 2007 7:53 pm

I'm used to having either a leash thing attached to my filler cap, or on my previous 323F, a special place to hang it while filling up.
I can't spot such a thing on my Bongo, has anyone come up with a solution to prevent them from driving off without the cap?

Thanks,

Pete

I've got in the habit of keeping the cap in my left hand whilst I fill up with my right. I know for a fact if I get into the habit of putting it down somewhere I'll drive off without it one day.

In Russia we selected similar cap with the rope and now they do not disappear.

That's an excellent idea DemonAV - I wonder how we could source a suitable cap here. Anyone? :roll:
