My ford doesn't have a gas cap.

Lately I ball up a pair of gloves that I keep in my truck. I've used a water bottle, beer can, pair of socks, a nail, a pen, pretty much anything I can find.

You would rather stand out in the cold not able to do anything than sit in the car, play on the phone or run into the convenience store?

I think leaving your car unattended while filling up is very much frowned upon.

It pumps faster if you hold it down all the way versus using the lever, so I hold it anyway.

used to use the gas cap itself...however, recently, I went to grab the handle and a large arc of static electricity popped from my finger to the handle. there is absolutely no reason that shouldn't have ignited and burned the shite out of me...

I will never let go of a pump handle again while filling a vehicle...



You just have to ground yourself before you touch it. Touch your car door, or anything of metal on your car before grabbing the pump handle and you'll discharge whatever static electricity you built up.

I keep hand sanitizer in my door nonetheless.



Get help. If you think your going to get something from a gas pump handle, your germophobia is a real problem. Seriously, get help.

Everyone with a 2011 and newer F150!

Times 10 on the electrical tape or one of those little blue oval led flashlights from harbor freight works perfect. I have also used a piece of velcro I found somewhere.

I usually just stick my taser or Zippo in there. A strike anywhere match will also work.

All of the F150s made after about 2009 don't have had caps.
