ABSTRACT:
A fuel cap assembly has a handgripping cover portion, a threaded closure portion and a ring portion. The ring portion has an inwardly facing lip for axially supporting the closure and a flexible skirt depending from the inwardly facing lip and terminating in an outwardly facing lip. The inwardly facing lip flexes outwardly during assembly of the closure into the ring and the skirt flexes inwardly during assembly of the ring and closure into the cover. An annular groove is formed in the cover at a location aligned with the outwardly facing lip such that the skirt can assume its unflexed position and thereby secure the fuel cap assembly.
