A flush-fitting fuel tank cap 110 is described herein. A flush-fitting tank cap 110 having features and advantages of the present invention is preferably characterized by a cylinder portion 30 adapted such that it may screw into a correspondingly threaded gasoline tank neck or bung 100. The tank cap 110 also preferably includes a handle portion 20 which is preferably mounted in operative relationship to the cylinder portion 30 such that rotation of the handle 20 causes corresponding rotation of the cylinder portion 30. The handle 20 is preferably movable between an up and a down position. A pin 40 is preferably disposed at or near the distal end 22 of the handle portion 20. The handle portion 20 is preferably disposed such that the pin 40 may fit into a slot 50 and a notch 54 formed in the cylinder portion. The pin 40 is preferably free to slide linearly within the slot 50, but the pin 40 preferably rotationally engages within the slot such that the handle portion 20 is restrained from rotational motion relative to the cylinder portion 30 while the handle is in the "up" position as described herein.
