Direct-fit fuel cap with an integrated handle designed for 1978-1992 Chevrolet Corvette models, this gas/fuel cap secures and seals the fuel filler neck while restoring original appearance and function. Constructed from durable metal with a corrosion-resistant finish and a molded sealing gasket, it provides a reliable vapor-tight closure to help prevent fuel evaporation and reduce odors. The ergonomically shaped handle makes removal and installation quick and tool-free in most cases, making this cap an ideal replacement for worn, damaged, or missing original caps during restoration or routine maintenance.
Features:
- Fits 1978-1992 Chevrolet Corvette (direct replacement for C3 fuel filler neck).
- Durable metal construction with corrosion-resistant finish for long life and period-correct appearance.
- Integrated sealing gasket provides a positive, vapor-tight closure to reduce fuel evaporation and odors.
- Easy-grip handle allows quick removal and installation without special tools in most applications.

Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 1/5
- Estimated time: 5-15 minutes
Instructions:
- Park on a level surface, turn off the engine, and ensure the vehicle is cool before working near the fuel filler.
- Open the fuel door and remove the existing fuel cap by unscrewing it or removing any retaining clip or fastener (use a flat-blade screwdriver or pliers if needed).
- Inspect the filler neck and surrounding area; clean any dirt, debris, or old gasket residue with a clean cloth to ensure a good seal.
- If the new cap includes a gasket, confirm it is seated properly inside the cap; replace any damaged or missing gasket components.
- Align the new cap with the filler neck and hand-thread or press it into place until the gasket seats and the cap is secure. Do not over-tighten—hand snug is sufficient.
- Check the handle position for comfortable operation and verify there are no fuel odors or leaks after installation.
- Close the fuel door and take a short test drive; recheck the cap after a few miles to ensure it remains seated and sealed.
