An extension for use on a cap and especially adapted for use on a vehicle gas cap which has an elongate member dimensioned so as to extend substantially diametrically across the cap. The base member has upper and lower surfaces, and a pair of side edges. A pair of depending side walls extend downwardly from each side edge of the base member. Together, the base member and side walls define a channel which receives and grips a portion of the cap. Securing means can be provided on the cap extension for securing it to the gas cap.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. An extension for use on a fuel cap, the extension comprising:an elongate base member dimensioned so as to extend substantially diametrically across the cap, said base member being centrally mounted on said fuel cap, the base member having upper and lower surfaces and a pair of side edges; anda pair of depending side walls extending from the side edges of the base member, the side walls and base member defining a channel with an open end for receiving a portion of the cap by insertion through said open end, said side walls being tapered relative to each other so said open end is narrower than the distance between said side walls at said elongate base member, when said portion is inserted through said open end said side walls are deflected and spread apart at said open end producing a resilient force pressing said side walls in contact with said portion.
