Lightbulb Re: Gas Cap decal

That decal is not a GM decal. That is a much later government requirement as seen on replacement caps. I would permanently remove it.

The one I bought faded to clear translucent in less than a year outside. not complaining because I didn't want the sticker on there in the first place, but if a guy did want the sticker on there then be warned it will disappear quickly.

For the money I don’t think I would even try buffing the stainless was more the point . And you have a new gasket too

I'd rather have the older original ones like the OP has. the new ones are a cheap imitation. compare the quality of the steel and the mold on OP's with the gates one. you can just replace the gasket without replacing the whole cap.

The cap he has is an aftermarket cap it’s not an original cap

Re: Gas Cap decal

Thanks guys for all the input, all valid points. In retrospect I think I’ll just buy a new one, less work

Re: Gas Cap decal

You would never see a sticker like that if people used their brains. Today any owners manual clearly states “Do Not Drink The battery Liquid” ! This is a direct result of our failed education system.

The Stant brand has that, but I usually remove them.
