Lost Gas Cap Tip

[n9ads@domain.elided (Howard R Pletcher)]

Back when my Scout was new, I had a habit of driving off and leaving the
gas cap on top of the fuel pump at the station.  After buying a couple of
new ones, I decided to fix the situation by drilling a hole in the bottom
side of the cap to attach a 20" piece of nylon rope with a sheet metal
screw.  On the other end of the rope, I attached a nut from a large bolt
as a weight and dropped it down the filler neck.  Now, the cap just hangs
there while I fill up and I haven't replaced it in about 18 years.  Some
of us have to be a bit cautious, the cap hangs against the side of the
Scout and could scratch the paint--Dan and some others will view that as
a mark of distinction.
