It never ceases to amaze me that not one gas station attendant on earth knows how to put our gas caps in the clip when pumping gas. Apparently most Evo owners don't know how to store their gas caps either? I did a search and couldn't find a how-to, so, here is how you do it:

Step 1: Remove gas cap.

Step 2: Put it in the clip (see picture). EDIT: It fits best when the handle on the gas cap is either perpindicular or parallel to the edge to be clipped onto.



Installation is the reverse of the above steps.

Hey I know it's simple but it's not common knowledge for everyone so I put it in the how-to section. If it doesn't belong here oh well, but nobody needs comments from the peanut gallery.

LOL It's not blatantly obvious, which is why 0% of gas station attendants and I would imagine a high percentage of Evo owners do not know about it...hence the write-up

STFU some people don't know. As a matter of fact, I think most people don't know. It wasn't obvious to me, and there are actually other posts on EvoM stating the wrong way to do it. You can keep your sarcasm because I believe this how-to will be helpful to many.

I too didn't know what to do with it either. In fact I told my wife I couldn't believe that on a car that cost so much, you had to just let it hang against the side of the car. On other cars, the "cap hanger" is OBVIOUS.
