I'd be afraid the hook would catch in the tank neck. Just a thought.

I would be concerned about dropping it on or scratching my tank somehow, but still a good thought. Maybe put some soft rubber tube over the metal...

I mean the hook actually catching inside and can't get the cap off.

I gotcha!!! For me, I would drop it on the tank or slide it across and scratch up my paint. The tubing was to protect my paint from my impending mess up with the hook.

Sorry, please help me out. What is wrong with just putting the cap on top of the gaspump?? Has anybody rode off on a bike and left it behind??

you guys are funny.

ok, here's the skinny on the gas cap hanger i sell...

I am pretty sure it WILL NOT FALL IN YOUR TANK!!

the base of it pops into your gas cap fairly securely, and doesnt really come out that much upon usage. it holds it in there pretty tightly.

IF it begins to wiggle its way out of the gas cap, all you have to do is push it back down.
you will only notice this e every once in a while while you are getting gas.
i have been using mine since the day i bought it a year and a half ago, first in my Wide Glide, and now in my Ultra.
I have absolutely no issues whatsoever.
and yes, the website is www.gascaphanger.com
oh, and i used to place mine on the seat, or on top of something like gloves all the time as well, and every once in a while, it would fall off anyways, and it scratched up my shiny chrome gas cap! that wont happen if you use this gas cap hanger. it cant, unless you are just plain careless and drop it out of your hands when removing it anyways!

this thing is supposed to cost $8.95 (thats what i paid for my first one), and i am giving everyone a break by selling it for $4.95, so for five bucks, its at least worth a try to see if you could find it useful. I do, and thats why i decided to buy a bunch and sell them.

some find it goofy, but most find it useful once they get past that! I know I do.

if you have any more questions, please just ask me. There's not much to it really...i posted pictures of them and how they are installed on the website, and its really not a big deal guys hehe...

its not gonna scratch your paint (unless you are just a dumbass and actually use it to scratch your tank), or fall in your tank (it cant on any of my bikes, they have only a small hole for the gas nozzle, and the base of the hanger will not fit through that at all), it cant fall off or get stuck in the gas tank and hold your cap hostage, as you dont have to pull too hard for it to just pop out, but it is held in there tight enough that it wont just come loose.
