If the fuel cap does not have a support system, once unscrewed, you need to find a place to rest it during refuelling (often on the roof or on the pump), risking leaving without screwing it back on. A useful accessory is the cap with a support cord that attaches to the flap: once unscrewed, the cap holds itself.

To install it, simply remove the old cap and fit the new one, securing the peg of the support cord into the designated hole inside the flap.
