Car : 2000 Suzki Swift 1.0
Issue - Fuel Filler Cap Left on the Roof - Pressurized Fuel System.

My Partner went out for a drive in her little swift the other day and it started spluttering @ 60mph, when attempting to Sharply accelerate the car slowed down, knocking it out of gear stops this. Rolling onto the throttle slowly allowed the car to accelerate off the duel carriage way.

Discovered that the fuel cap has been left on the roof when it was last filled up (2 weeks ago). The issue we have is its a pressurized fuel system, what would you recommend using to keep the system pressurized.

Im thinking fill the tank then zip-tie part of a rubble bag over the filler neck. Until we get a new cap.

Would this work?

Any advice will be welcome!
