My gas filler bib mod...

My 993 came from the factory with a rubber bib to protect the paintwork from dripping fuel and pump handle chips. Since then I have added this cheap mod to every car I own and it has been well worth it. I did the same with my 991 today. Just thought I'd share.

The bib is simply hand cut from spare rubber sheet, or in my case, an old auto tire inner tube. (Yes, I have had a stable of classics that used such things!)

The gas cap inserts in that little hole on the door hinge? Holy cr@p!!! I learn something new every day.

Bib? Great idea.

awesome idea, I say group buy! You gotta have more rubber lying around

seriously, I'm tired of playing the "tap, tap, tap and wait game." I've never seemed to master it.
Thanks for sharing!

I wonder how flammable that thing has become over the year continually soaked in gasoline. Yikes.

Would the flash point really change to that of gasoline?

Great mod Brad. Maybe I'll cut it out of some chamois.

A non issue. Never absorbs fuel. Have had one on all my cars for 11 years now. (That's when I bought the 993.)
