Default My gas cap solution

Not that it was really a problem. I installed a permacap this morning, then gave it a 150 mile audition. No problems what so ever. 13 bucks on eBay . Worth every penny IMO. Might even put one on my truck.

P.S. The Captain Itch Crotch Cooler is also worth every penny, works very very well. Bought mine from another member, but still looks great.

Cozz---Is that Permacap originally made for a Corvette, and who manufactures it ? ?

I bought that RickRack gas cap magnet. It cost like $12 or something and people were up in arms about charging that much for a magnet. Ehh.... I've paid a helluva lot more for less things so the convenience of being able to just set my cap right in front of me on my ignition switch while I fuel is worth it to me.

I think it was advertised as fitting a corvette. It supposedly will replace any screw in gas cap. I thought permacap was the manufacturer, but I'll check the package tomorrow.

Engineered to the highest specifications in compliance with the strictest of environmental regulatory requirements. Fits all vehicles with a screw-on style fuel cap; for both domestic and import cars and trucks.

Another fine product from master design. Have not looked into it any deeper than that.

Some riders like to peek in the tank and fill it to the brim (or close to it) when gassing up. Can you easily do that with this cap?

Yeah, thats me, I try to get every drop in, fill upright, shake, etc.

That would be my concern with this product.

No, you couldn't, but I'm not too worried about squeezing in that last quart.

OK.... I'm stupid.... I don't get it...

What exactly is the problem this cap is the solution for?
