  • Fuel filler cap with a detachable handle
    Patent number: 4168011
    Abstract: A fuel filler tube closure cap for a motor vehicle fuel tank includes a handle portion which is detachable from the closure portion. The handle has a skirt which covers the fill tube opening in a vehicle body panel such that on relative movement of the fill tube away from the body panel, a force is applied to the skirt causing separation of the handle portion and the closure portion. The closure portion remains with the fill tube to maintain fuel system integrity.
