Yeah and then add to the gas stations collection of gas caps.. :rofl2:

All of my cars so far have had non-tethered gas caps... and there has always been a little metal holder on the inside of the gas door. The cap fits perfectly there. Don't think the Z would have this though...

Of course...If yours is like that, and mine isn't, then I must be a liar. :icon14:

Mine doesn't touch either. BUT, I will say this -- it depends on the way you hang it. It's very hard to explain, but the first time I filled up, it touched and I was like 'wtf is this crap design? I don't want my cap touching the car'. But then I played around with it and discovered that if I hung it a little differently, it wouldn't touch. Try playing around with it a little. If you can't get it right, I'll take some pics.

I dunno, I just took some scissors and clipped it short at both ends. I don't like hanging the cap on the gas door because it's so flimsy and fragile.

Well?...Not even close.

Here's a close up too...

I'd guess that at 1mm without measuring. Easily close enough that when hanging it it'll bump the car.

I ripped mine off, I don't like hanging it on the car. I put it on top of the pump.

It's obvious your car is special (or they redesigned the tether for later VINs. Mine was built 550 or so units before yours)

My tether hook is 1/4" from where it joins the cap.

I second this notion.. mine has never hit or sat on the quarter panel.

That was my thought when I saw the pic you posted, your loop is much closet to the cap.

Probably a case of different-sourced part.
