Heres how

When you look around the rim of the fuel cap there are little cuts in the edge. When you look at it you will notice two long slits that are spread apart just enough to fit over the sheet metal on the inside of the fuel door.. These slits slide right onto the door. like a paperclip... goodluck..

Cool info. I have always just hung it over the hook on the door by the plastic tether.

I wish I could do a neat graphic but it just isn't in the cards!
