Awesome cap holder. And the 99.9999% of the time when it's not holding your cap, it will hold your tasty beverage for you.

You're welcome.

I would worry about reverse magnetic polarity of the fuel in the tank.
That would lead to some warranty issues.

The magnet needs to have the bar and shield or the MoCo will void your warranty. Gas cap mods are more dangerous than engine mods you know haha 🤦🏻‍♂️

I set mine on top of the pump, I have yet to drop it or leave it there.

That's a great idea. Looks like it came from the factory like that. Great job.

I think it has something to do with the engine oil.
