Gas Cap Tether Repair

[Htci]

Update on the “repair “: while filling up for the first time after the fix, within 20 seconds of hanging the gas cap on the fuel door hook, I heard the gas cap hit the ground and I looked down to see that the tether had broken in a different area much closer to the gas cap then before. At that point I started breaking the tether into pieces using very little tension and also tested the shrink wrap’s grip which was equally disappointing. Turns out the tether was softer than a twizzler. I guess it goes to show that in a 20 year old car it’s better to replace cheap parts than repair. This isn’t the first time I’ve learned this lesson (see my clutch “repair” post). When will I learn!
