Ha Ha - I figured that might be it - I ordered one for a 2006 Mazda earlier today. I like the idea of not chipping the paint so easily -

Aston also just came out with a cheap plastic cap for all it's models ...the metal cap is now an option. Don't think the part number is listed though yet

Here's the Volvo version:

Thanks for the clue.
Just ordered the Volvo cap to try what you mentioned.
Lets see if I can swap the internals.

From the pictures it seems straight forward. The only downside would be the little **** missing to stick the cap in the lid.

haha, i suppose for residents of NJ or OR that's not an issue since they have their gas pumped for them, but as someone who humbly pumps his own, it's an eyesore to me

Hey...hey..hey...NJ here and no one but me or my son have pumped fuel in my car...lol

I get told often they must pump it...so I ask how much insurance to cover if they scratch...works!

It is the young gas jockeys that want to do the pumping..
older guys just offer to process the gas card...

I understand the appearance factor so far I have not had to cross that river...

This is how we re-fuel at the track. Running the stock cap comes with more risk of paint damage than the plastic one. The funnel is huge and the bottle holds 5 gallons.



I have read here a lot of guy's have the evap codes triggered after running hard. We were trying to hypothesize why this is so. Any ideas?

Your Vantage will easily run away from them on most road courses. Our SN95 runs them down all the time. The live axle has a high roll center and a lot of lateral weight transfer. We can't run with them on the straights, but catch them cornering and braking.

My SN95 won't run with the Vantage. Just can't carry as much speed thru the corner and corner exit is not even close. It will out brake it and is faster in a straight line, but we just cannot put the power down as fast as we can in Vantage.
