Ok, I'm getting PMs and e-mails asking me where to drill the hole in the hinge for "safety wiring" the gas cap.
Move away from the drills.
The following sequence shows how to take off the wire in order to pump some gas...me thinks it'll become clear once you see them.
Ok, here it is installed...
First, you slide the wire to the side of the latch...
Keep sliding it over...
Once it is slid over, it'll release the tension so that you can pull the big loop out from under the hinge. Assright...there's no hole. The big loop fits nicely under the hinge and is held there once the wire is tightened by sliding it back to the middle of the latch.
Once you release the loop from around the hinge, just flop it out of the way...it'll still be connected to the latch.
And it's ready to put back on in reverse order...slide it around the hinge first, and then slide it back along the latch to tighten/hold it in place.
If you don't appreciate a little patina (minor scratches) on your cap, you can slide some small diameter tubing over the twisted section, as some have done.
Hope this adds to the little show you (and all of us) put on for the unwashed at the gas station.
