    I had fuel syphoned out of my VL in Scarborough at a friends house once. She said it has never happened to anyone else before... However, me being a wog, driving a VL, from Balcatta, parking in Scarbs..
    Eh, t'was bound to happen sooner or later...

    ...

    are you's talking about the litttle door or the actaul screw on cap?
    if your talking about the door, there probly getting some or all of there car re sprayed, in order to make the same colour you give the paint shop your petrol cap door thingy.

    I've noticed that alot too... what i've also noticed are alot of people driving around with them left open (not clicked in properly). All someone has to do is walk past it and then 'snap'

    that used to happen to me heaps, worked out the the seat belt wouldnt retract all the way, just a little slack, which would find its way under the fuel filler release, & when putting on the seat belt, you would pull the release tab without knowing.

    I hear it pop in the VN, so I get out, run over & close it, but I wonder if this is what happens to others too lol.
