I always hated the vanagon gas cap. I finally went into a junkyard and looked around and found that a style of mid-90s BMW gas cap style fits perfectly, is built better, matches the van better than the original, and has no lock. Search for a 1995 BMW 540i cap at an online auto parts store, they are about $15. I think they probably fit other years/models too so any junkyard ought to have a few. -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Mark Cumnock Sent: Monday, October 11, 2004 6:05 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: stupid gas cap !!!!!!
