 |
|
Which gas cap position is correct for 100mm Gas Cap when tightened on tank?
12 O'clock position (VW emblem vertical/up and down) - 1st pic
10 O'clock position (VW emblem angled) - 2nd pic
I have two different gas caps that position differently when fully tightened.
Thanks,
Dan

there is no correct position, these were mass produced vehicles and however the cap fit so it was.
look at pics in the gallery, the correct way is all over the place

use the one in the first photo - it has a satisfying neatness. like parking with all the hubcap emblems the right way up!

A gas tank with the notches aligned this way results in a gas cap aligned like this:
