Thread: Gas cap rust.

There's a few things I want to fix up on my car before summer comes around. The typical gas cap rust is one of them. On my car the gas cap actually hangs down, its an eyesore. Any idea how I would go about fixing this?

My gas cap was like that when i got my car. the hinge is probably rusted through. i just replaced it with a piece of metal wire about the same size as the hinge.

JY's?

The hinge most likely needs to be replaced. What are you going to use to fix the rust thoe, just go at it with some dupli colour from CT? I would like to see how that turns out because I have to do that on my gas door.

Thats the plan, yes. I think the hinge would need to be replaced, im tempted to take the cheap way out and get some Velcro and do it that way.

my gas door hangs like this.

I hate it lol, everytime I come out to my car its hanging down, I always put it back up even though it probably just falls back down as soon as I start driving lol.

Buy some magnets, thats what we had to do on my dads old se, it will keep it in place but the odd time the door will move out of place.
