    Gas cap

    I noticed under the gas door there are scratches and most likely that is from the gas cap(bottom part) hitting that area everytime the gas attendant removes the cap. I figure I cut that damn gas cap strap so it doesn't have to dangle when that damn attendant goes to remove the cap. Wondering if you guys did the same.

    Yeah I wish I can pump my own gas here in NJ but they don't let you. I did in California and Pennsylvania and it wasn't bad.

    ROFL, thats right. In NJ its illegal to pump your own gas... AND its less expensive that it is here in MD.

    Go figure.

    thats about how long it has been since I saw one last as well. I know of a few places out here in Cali where the guys will pump the gas for the older folks out of respect and all anyone else is just SOL!

    Back to the original intent of this thread! Nope, mine broke and I replaced it with a new one, and I take my time as not to scratch the paint when I let it hang down while I am pumping gas.

    I don't have those scratches on mine,my guess is that the guy here is more careful then yours...

    Besides the fact that one day he was about to fill it up with a lighted cigarette in his mouth... I warned him

    No scratches here. Replaced my stock cap w/ a $20 AutoZone locking gas cap with no tether. You could get one of those and let them put a matching scratch on you bed cover.
