Review on 🔒 Gates 31836 Locking Fuel Tank Cap, Yellow: Secure Your Fuel with Ease by Todd Fernandez

Gates 31836. Insert the key, turn counterclockwise to lock the cap, which must be removed before filling with petrol. Leave the key in the lock for installation. To "click to close the cap” on the fuel filler neck, turn the key, not the cap. At this point you need to hold the gas cap and turn the key clockwise to set the locking mechanism to the "free rotation" position. If the cap is not held still, the lock will only click when rotated clockwise as the cap and key lock rotate and the lock will not move to the "free rotation" position when the caps are rotated, but not be unscrewed to remove for refilling gasoline . For me it's a two-hand operation. If you have big hands, this can make things worse. Some reviewers note that the lock separates from the lid. I prefer my old Stant fuel cap, insert key and turn to unlock and remove cap, PULL key, then close gas tank again until it clicks, turn cap counterclockwise and cap is now in the "freewheel" position. Easier.
