Petrol Filler Cap Holder

Ok, I know I should probably know this after 2yrs of ownership but I didn't...... and after a quick search I couldn't find another post about it so in shame here you go....!!

I never knew there was a place to hang the petrol cap whilst filling up.

I've learnt something new! Now no one take the p!55!!

Scott how have you only just realised this [emoji85] at least 50+ petrol station fill ups...

All 3 of my previous Jags (XK8 and XKRs) had that facility, too. Next, you'll discover that there's a little arrow next to the petrol pump icon on the dash to indicate which side the filler cap is on.

Oh the shame!!

I did laugh to myself as I realised. Thought it would be a good post to mock myself.

It will be included on all history checks going forwards as a "did you know".

I didn't know this either. Or the dash icon.

And today at work I politely suggested that someone (the CTO, no less) RTFM.

MMM embarrassed too...
I’ve been cursing the filler cap support on the F Type since the first time at the petrol station. The BMW and Mini have a nice spike to secure the cap when filling and the Transit has capless filling.
But I’m always knocking the cap off of the support on the one car I don’t want scratched!
Turns out as I’ve discovered reading this post I’ve been doing it all wrong for all this time.

I thought the STRAP fitted into that half moon moulding on the flap hinge. Thanks simpleR, so obvious why didn’t I see that!

That's how I'm using it with the strap over the half moon and getting angry that it falls off so easily letting the cap slam on the body

Nice of you to show us the correct way SimpleR

Well I'm not embarrassed anymore. Clearly I'm not the only one.
