93euro Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Ok so i was browsing through my Lumina's manual the other night when i stumbled across the section about fueling up. i then read the section about the gas cap holder. i was in complete shock because i never even noticed the darn thing, or knew what it did!! (the gas cap holder, BTW, is a slot on the inside of the fuel door that the end of the gas cap can be inserted into so that the gas cap is held on to, and also not forgotten!). Does anyone else use this ingenious peice of GM engineering? ANSWER THE POLL, DAMMIT! yeah, so its blurry, but you get the point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loominaz34 Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 I've used it on occasion but it didn't take me a look through the owners manual to find it. I didn't know that was it's actual job but i put it there because i was sick of holding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5speedz34 Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 My dad showed me how to use it back in like the early 90's, after he kept leaving caps at gasstations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cutlassdude96 Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 I used all the time but on the 88 delta 88 and 91 Calais it gets in the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glock19 Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Mine has a tether. If I did not have a tether, the gas cap would be used the prop the lever on the gas pump open so I don't have to hold it. Glock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 I hate new cars that don't have it, and only a stupid teather. I had to fill up like 4 brand new Sebrings and was very careful so I don't scratch the paint (cause I like those cars). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospeeder Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Does anyone notice when u open the Gas door on them, that the back part, when fully open, hits the paint a little, and after time, makes a worn area, like, a bare ass spot. My moms Grand Am is a 99, and it has a teather, but, it also has somthign like that, and u wrap the teather around it, and it holds it out of the way! mabye thats what ur missing, lol EDIT: the part about the gas door hitting the side of the car when open, for Grand Prix's with the Areo Package, it hits the fender flare, just a bit, and over time rubs the paint off, thats only if u open it fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
