People put their nail in the edge and flick it open.
Pinch the rubber and pull.
Wire up a solenoid like someone on here has.

Its much easier pulling up the back seat, taking the plastic cover off the fuel tank, disconnecting the wiring, and taking off the fuel pipes, then put the fuel in. IMO never used the filler cap.

Since people seem to smooth off the original "cup"(dont know what to call it lol) has anyone tried recessing the "cup" instead?

Just an idea

If you have a locking cap, is the locking loop not directly behind the 'cup'?
So recessing it would mean altering that too...

Cant see it working,
