Just got gas and ... Dingo!

A few weeks ago I posted a pic of my gas cap/door:

My problem was the Fuel Cap, whenever I filled up the cap was in the way.



Dingo posted a pic of his Cap/Door.....

And now, here's my mod (thanks to Dingo):

Works great! Took me maybe 10 minutes, most of which was looking though my shop to find the parts.



Thanks Dingo.

I did that trick on my f150!!! love it!

 

[Dingo]

lol. It's amazing the little differences you can find between two seemingly similar vehicles.

Can one of those gas cap leash / holders be put on the Gen 1 ST's?

Rodger,



Using a drill and small screw + nut, you can relocate the cap cable to the arm of the door. For a hanger, a small plastic hook (3M tape on the back) from Target, Lowes, Wal-Mart, etc. will work.



I've never let it dangle on the side (always wedge it above the filler nozzle) but this will make life easier. I'll likely do it when I am back home next weekend.

My '08 has a hook from the factory. Of course I had the truck for two months before I noticed it was there. :wacko:

I just unbolted the cap, removed the leash.......



Now it is not in the way at all...



I put the cap on the bed cover upside down, Works perfect..

I just got annoyed at a Safeway gas station one time and took my knife and cut the leash.



Not the most elegant solution, but it worked....

I stand by my Stant Instant Fill gas cap...

 

[Ray McIntireJr]

That is on the wrong side isn't it?

 

[KentheREALone Z]

Depends on whether your coming or going..:wacko:

So the 07's don't have the hook......but the '08's do? Looks like a Design improvement!!

 

[Dingo]

Doug, some '07s do. Not all.
