My mum gave me a lift in to collage today as my bicycles tyres were punctured.
well we decided that the car may do with a little fuel topup on the way, so we pull up into a petrol station and there she is getting off the car and opening the flap to the fuel hole thing.
my mum calls my name and asks.... "wheres the fuel cap? " i reply 'what' from the confusion to the idiocity to the question my mum asks. i get out of car and look at the hole and think holy crap how long have we been running like this!
I think it was missing for about a months or so... its not easy to get to the actuall fuel so i doubt someone stole any petrol but still...
its a nissan almera GTi and now am wondering how much it will cost to replace one. and also where can i get one?
thanks ray
 
my parents have almost no interest in what there driving ...

They just want to keep the current car for as long as possible. o yeah and to keep it clean.

so i guess there are no good websites to get them from.... *drags out yellow pages in reluctant manner*
 
na my mums japanese so theres no way shis blonde :D
well she opened the flap and looked at the hole and thought whers the cap. the flapps only been open when refueling and there is a sneeking suspicion it may be my dad that last refueled the car :D:D
this is starting to look interesting:)
 
lol. either way were pretty sure it was my dad. now his in japan right now and we dont know when his getting back so... well lotsa complains coming his way.

so about not having fuel caps... does it do anything negarive to the car?
 
my mum phoned to see where she can get one and yes she did find a place.. they sell it for 30 pounds !! thats really expensive for what it does.....
advice for everyone here... dont loose your fuel caps!
