Lost Your Car’s Gas Cap? Ask For One At Gas Stations
30 September 2006Losing a gas cap is pretty easy. On many cars, the little plastic holders don’t fit well, and it’s easy to knock them off. It’s also easy to forget to close the thing back up, so you could drive off without paying attention only to realize you’ve left the flap open once the cap itself is long gone. I ran across a tip for getting these replaced for free - ask the clerk at the gas station next time you fill up if they’ve got any lying around. Many gas stations have a policy of holding onto them if they find them - because other people like you lose them on the lot, and they will keep them for awhile to see if anyone comes back and asks for them. So go in and see if they’ve got any old ones that no one has claimed - if they fit, you won’t have to waste money buying a new one.
