Abstract
A device for holding a fuel-tank filler port cap includes a mounting member mounted in a through hole formed in an automobile body near a fuel-tank filler port, and a string-like connecting member inserted into and retained by the mounting member so that it can be partially withdrawn therefrom. The connecting member is provided at one end thereof with means for retaining it against detachment from the mounting member and at the other end thereof with a ring-like portion for holding the cap. The connecting member is retreated and accommodated into the interior of the automobile body through the mounting member when the cap is fitted and, when the cap is removed, is withdrawn to hold the cap in the hanging state.
