Fuel Cap

[PILOON]

My challenge was not as easy to solve as there are no Mitsubishi tractor dealers anywhere, fortunately, as with cars and trucks, there is a certain set of standards that everybody uses.
SAE=Society of Automotive Engineering.

How did you lose the fuel cap?

left it sitting on the fender....

however, I did find a replacement thanks to the super helpful (and patient) young man at O'Reilly auto parts, I did as mentioned above and took a measurement of the neck and wend down there with just that. About 10 minutes and laying a few out for me to pick from, I chose one that already had a tether attached, and it fit just right!

'Course now you'll find the original laying on top of the grass somewhere, right there in the open.

LOL no I don't think so, I left it off when I stopped to fuel up about 15 miles from home after going to do a bush hogging job

Diggin it - that's exactly what I was thinking. Be sure you save the sales receipt and packaging. As soon as you get the new one home - walla, there is the old one.

Not too terribly long ago, I hooked up my simple 4x8 utility trailer to go pick up some lumber (or whatever) in town. I laid the spring/hitch pin on the vehicle's covered bumper, latched the hitch, connected the chains and wiring and off I went. When I got to town about 15-20 miles away, went in the store, made my purchases, came back out loaded the trailer, then reached into the back to get the ratchet straps, guess what I noticed sitting on the bumper cover?

Not a fuel cap but the same idea. Loooong ago, I was working on my Toyota FJ40. Had the SnapOn socket set sitting on the small running board. Drove off - forgetting where the socket set was. I looked but never found even one socket. As I remember it was $140 back in '78. I was so dam upset - I can still remember it, 40 years later.

I actually usually use a padlock instead of a hitch pin. I did this with the key ring with all my lock keys on it and found it when I got to my destination to unload the lawnmower. Couldn't believe it rode that long. Another one is that on my last camper, I had a short piece of pipe to use to raise the WDH. I hooked up and took off on a trip. next town up, I got stopped at a red light, and heard the pipe hit the road when I started up....pulled over, walked back and picked it up...:laughing: I didn't find it the next time I lost it though....
