Gas cap holder? - Smart Car of America Forums : Smart Car Forum

Anyone notice that the fuel door has a cut out and notch to hang the gas cap while fueling? Keeps the cap from touching the panel.

Can't make it work. Cap keeps falling out. Am I a wussie, or what?

Nope, hadn't noticed that. Thanks!

It had me baffled in the beginning too... Actually, it clips on at the top and hangs. The "U" shape cup out clears the threads on cap.

Take your time when you hang it - it sits on there easily. Took me a few tries to get it but now I hang it there every fill-up.

I knew about it the first day I got my smart, but lost sight of its use and forgot all about it. At 8 gals a fillup, there just wasn't enough time for the cap to get into the holder snugly!

Using it for more then 6 month now. Works very well.

Hadn't noticed. In Oregon we can't fill our own tank.

My '05 Ford F350 is the first vehicle in a dozen years that does NOT have some method to clip or hang the gas cap... grrrr!

Ths 08 smart gas cap ledge/hanger is easy and convenient....I use it every time

What, they have personal attendants still in the state at every station? or is it against the law there to fill your own tank?

I think I would hate for the guy to fill my tank if he/she does not know they are supposed to not TOP IT OFF. Just a thought.
