I'd try beating up the dealer on a new gas cap. The C6 has the same gas cap and the same problems. At least my 2006 did, and there was a thread at the Corvette forum on it. The 2005 and 2006 guys were complaining.

There is a redesigned cap too, I'm pretty sure of it. When I took my C6 in they replaced the gas cap wth a diffent design that the ring inside the cap is white with red trim. I believe the GTO and the earlier C6's came with a white with green seal ring inside the cap.

I just went out and checked my new cap and it has a green gasket. It is snug on the rim where as the old one was always a little sloppy. The dealer had one in stock which surprised me but I was told they always have one on hand in case one fails the emissions test.

I will be getting the GMPP in a few weeks and it will be covered for 3 more years, I checked. Another hodgepodge set up.

I did not leave my stock cap on long enough to have this problem. I went with the Stant Insta-fill cap. I love it and will never go back. So if someone ever needs a stocker let me know, mine has about 5000 miles on it.. (Thats how many miles the gto had when i bought it)

Anyone have a solution on where to put/place the cap.... man i set myself up here.... while filling up? Is it just me... or does it just limply hang (don't start with the viagra jokes), in the most annoying and obtrusive spot while getting gas?

GTO JUDGE

I have a piece of velcro on the top of the cap and another piece on the hinge of the door. When I remove the cap I place it on the door's velcro strip.

In New Jersey it is illegal to pump your own gas. So once I pull up to the pumps I jump out and take off the cap and gently let it hang. The insta fill seems cool, then you wont have to worry about slamming the cap against the car. MMM. Might have to check into that if I keep her.
