One embodiment of a fuel tank cap and mounting bracket apparatus includes a cap including protrusions on a lower surface of the cap, the protrusions including a raised portion adapted to be received within a recess of a mounting bracket to secure the cap to the mounting bracket. One embodiment of the mounting bracket includes slots to receive the protrusions of the cap and recesses to receive the raised portion of each protrusion. In one embodiment of the mounting bracket the slots and the recesses are surrounded by mounting bracket material on all sides so that the shape of the slots and recesses is protected against deformation during an impact, thereby inhibiting separation of the cap from the mounting bracket.
