So anyone who has cold weather will completely understand they don't like handling the gas cap, or filling their car for that matter. Plus if ur a businessman in a spiffy suit then gas smelling hands aren't appealing. This product eliminates that problem.

the reviews are all over the map.

The way i see it, if it throws a code then you can return it and get your money back. I think I am gonna buy one tonight when I get off work. For 20$ i cannot see what there is to lose.

Just wondering what you all think, is it worth it, will it last... etc.

 

It doesn't really get cold enough down here to warrant the use of one of those so I don't think I'll be picking one up.

 

i doubt u will throw a code, but it sure would make stealing your gas easier

 

the thing is pissing me off is that i need to use the key to open the cap im gonna change it soon and then i just pay the guy to fill it up thats it...

 

lol we have gas tank door locks on our CL's. How is this going to jeaprodize your fuel? if someone wants to ruin your ride, they'll accomplish the task regardless.

StreetKA ....Key to open what cap? the gas cap? do you got an aftermarket set-up

am i missing something here? i just twist mine off and then it is supposed to sit in the door while ur filling.

I'm gonna pop the door open from inside the car, pick up the gas nozzle shove it in there, fill up, pull it out, close door and FINITO..

did i miss something

 

idk if that is an aftermarket or not... previous owner might change it i have no idea

 

we dont use keys so it has to be aftermarket. id rather save teh $20 and put in as fuel in my tank

 

grabbed one like 2 years ago, no complaints..

 

I must break my 7 month long silence to ask why anyone would ever buy this product.

 

lol same here

 

Or go with option 2.....stop being a baby?

I never get gas on my hands, and its just as cold here in Detroit, so I say buck up.

 

you be still touching the gas pump's handle even with the new gas cap

and if you are that worried about the gas cap having gas on it ,clean it off occasionally with a hose , when you are washing the car




but yeah really only way to avoid the smell would be to never get out of the car (for me seems to be more on the ground from all those drips over the years , then my shoes smell like gas for a little bit [and no i do not step in any puddles ethier]) , so just let the attendent pump it for you (and tip them too, to be nice first of all, and so they will actually pump it next time for you and not scratch the paint or something with the nozzle; payback is a bitch)


and if you must keep your hands clean, buy a box of disposable gloves, that you can just toss afterwards (make sure they are gasoline resistent too)

 

also in the poll pointless for your purposes of keeping your hands clean, still gotta touch the pump's handle/nozzle

 

and for shits and giggles. what about is someone pisses on the handle? so this cap is worthless

 

lmfao

 

so vote ^^^ already

 

voted.
this makes me want to go and piss on some handles now.lol

 

piss in a bottle then go toss some on every nozzle, then that way you also don't get public indecincie (sp?)(nudity) charged against you, but it will also let you be able to get more nozzles also, with out having to hold it, and run between every nozzle

 

lol... you guys are hilarious. now ur making me not want it lol.. I'm gonna look into a 5 finger discount. :-0

 

no you make your passenger floor removeable (or fly out with the rivits popping out ), and then park over the tank fillups, and just pump it yourself striaght from the tank

 

SO i went out and bought it... worked fine... i guess but there was a hidden problem I did not think of.

When ur done pumping the left over gas in the nozzle spills all over the front of the new gas cap when u are removing it.... BALZZZ....

so i shall return it tomorrow and get my money back. I'll just say i got a CEL lol.

well it was worth a shot.

looks like the general consensus was correct! damnit lol

 

lol should have just listened to us

 

shoulda woulda coulda...what's done is done....

thank god Crappy tire is down the street from me... no biggie

but yea I just thought i'd let you all know you were right.

But don't blame a brotha for givin er a try

 

already , that was fast, must have have a really bad seal then



and go spend that $20 or whatever you spent on a nice box of disposable gloves for yourself

 

lol i just wanted it cause I like spending money in shit for my car...

the seal didn't go, there was no CEL...I said I am going to tell Crappy tire that so i get my MONEY back lol..

I don't think I can return it and say I don't like how it functions.

So i'm gonna make that up

 

Fixed.

 

looks like a pos to me to

 

I didn't click the link, I thought it was a gas door replacement, I figured the gas spill would be an issue, props for trying it at least

 

It's plenty cold in Minnesota (well below zero last week) and I've never had any issues handling my gas cap. Not sure what you're doing that you smell like gas afterwards either. I can be in shorts or a tux and I don't leave smelling like gas when I'm done filling up.

 

Even though it is not needed anymore, I voted: "not needed but should last the test of time".

 

i just thought (if it worked properly) it would be one thing more thing that could keep our cars updated like many other newer models have.

but i don't like spilling gas.

 

Can't say I've ever had gas spill when filling my CL. Are you trying to top the tank off or something?

 

no, normally i never spilled a drop...

I bought this thing to see if it could make it so i neve have to touch the gas cap again... my logic: why not.

but it made it so the remaining gas in the nozzle spilled onto the new cap thingy as I couldn't angle the nozzle upwards to get rid of the last bits of gas. so in essence this made filling up even MORE of a messy job, as gas would trickle ver the cap and then sit in the bottom contour of the recessment

 

you mean that plastic cup like thing right below the gas cap, if so, it has a drain on it, so any gas caught by it does not go on the exterior paint

 

wasn't really workin for me... it spilled all over the inside recessment there

 

I dont get gas on me

Its a waste of money IMO
