DIDGAKNOWTHAT? - Notches for Holding License Plate Door Open when "Filling Up!"

[Jason Edge]

I casually mentioned during our Zoom meeting Sunday that there are notches for using the gas cap to hold the license plate door open while filling up and a couple of members indicated they did not know that so I thought it was worth posting here. 
I have a couple of other DIDGAKNOWTHAT items, and might make this into another recurring topic.

So, here is DGKT #1:

Gas Tank Filler Cap for Holding License Plate Door Open:
- simply open the license plate - filler door and wedge cap in between arrows as seen below. This is my 64, but the same thing for 63 with notches in same general area.

Wedging cap in notches makes filling up 1000x easier!

Hi Jason,

     Thank you for answering my question - never knew about this (along with other things I'm sure).  I appreciate your feedback!

Thanks Jason!

Actually this is mentioned in Owner’s Manual page 37 but there is no photo.

I always open the cap with right hand and try to fit that to RIGHT SIDE vertically between the door and the chrome frame but usually it does not work.

"Actually this is mentioned in Owner’s Manual page 37 but there is no photo."   While it is mentioned in the 1964 owners manual it is not in the 1963 manual.  Regardless there is a large % of questions I get asked day to day that are right there in your owners manual.
