I drive an 02 LS and I am not positive if the never ones have the bracket to hold the cap in place when you're getting gas....but anyone have any ideas of how I can avoid this??? AFAIK, there was no bracket to hold the gas cap. It was simply tethered by a plastic wire and dangles on the fender when you add gas. I bought a guard from a Corvette supplier: http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=1.563 It's only $10 and fits on the filler neck without tools. I can tell you that it drapes down far onto the fender and protects it from the gas cap. You may want to get one of these! Smokey March 15th, 2006, 08:14 AM I got one of these for my 04 Vic. http://www.innovativeinterceptors.com/carcare.html MistaMoeGod March 15th, 2006, 09:17 AM Thanks To You Both... I Will Definitely Look In To These... J3FF March 16th, 2006, 07:15 PM Well, I just cut the plastic thing that held the gas cap on. I still have the bolt in place but now I can freely put the cap somewhere besides dangling from the car. Smokey March 16th, 2006, 10:57 PM Well, I just cut the plastic thing that held the gas cap on. I still have the bolt in place but now I can freely put the cap somewhere besides dangling from the car. That is what I did on my 98 Continental.

You do realize that the cap is tethered for a reason, right? Bad things can happen if you untether your gas cap! J3FF March 17th, 2006, 03:14 PM NO no, I just took a plastic knive and cut the plastic peice in the middle, leaving the sninning part alone. Smokey March 17th, 2006, 10:14 PM Same here on the Conti. That was 3 years ago and my son has not reported any problems so far. steagle March 18th, 2006, 11:34 AM there are clear vinyl stickers you can buy, just apply to where the cap would hit your paint, i've seen them on a few vettes and they are pretty unnoticeable. ToddG March 18th, 2006, 03:17 PM NO no, I just took a plastic knive and cut the plastic peice in the middle, leaving the sninning part alone. Which is the sninning part? Point is that if you lose your gas cap, you can damage the emission control system. That tether is there to prevent that. It's a real bad idea to cut it off.
