Works almost always!

I used the scanner on my car and got the EVAP code. I went to check the gas cap and lo and behold. My gas cap literally bounced around the door! I have no idea how this happened as I filled it up a state away from my house and heard it click once. This OEM factory replacement can cost up to three times more than others, but is guaranteed to work REGARDLESS of the vehicle it's attached to (provided you attach it to a compatible vehicle). Since then I haven't had any problems or code on my car…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared

2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT

My car had a P0442 (small evaporator leak) after clearing the code twice the code came back. Further inspection revealed that the fuel cap rubber seal was bad. (big cracks) went to an online shop to replace the gas cap. I found this one and read the reviews. Others claim that the cheaper ones don't fit properly or don't fix the code. So I went and bought this one and my code is fixed. It's the 3rd day now the code won't come back. The gas cap appears to be tightly closed when rotated. My only…

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Fixed error P402 in gas caps

Fixed leak in evaporator system. P402 trouble code on GM vehicles. Suggest you do some tests before you just buy it. If you have an error code, take a small amount of oil and lubricate the o-ring in the gas cap. Reset the trouble code (SES or Service Engine will light up soon). Your engine computer will check for small leaks under certain conditions (fuel 1/4 to 3/4 and coolant temp below 120 and ambient temp above 40 but below 85 and throttle position below 50%). If you drive within a week of…

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Amazing replacement parts

It's a gas cap! Wow, it looks and feels like a new gas cap. It's in much better shape than my old one, even looks like my old one, only brand new. About ten years ago you could buy a new gas cap for $6 but you couldn't get one with a plastic cap, this is very easy to put on, it took me about 30 seconds to replace the old one with the new one, great! Seriously it's the gas cap, you can buy one with or without a lock, or auto vent or not, presumably this could be why my wife caught fire on both…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Good but not great

I bought this ACDelco GT279 GM gas cap on January 14th 2017 for a 1998 Buick Regal LS. So far no problems. This gas cap was made in Germany and appears to be of good quality. Will be updated if it fails. I had to get this to replace the ones I bought from an auto shop for $12 because it was very hard to turn them on when I try to turn them back on after filling them up. This ACDelco turns very easily. A well-functioning fuel cap will save you from the "Check engine soon" message. I'm afraid to…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Older model

Highly recommended! This old fashioned gas cap is the best!

I'm so glad I found this gas cap. My elderly mother needed it for her old Buick when the original cover broke after years of use. The new-fangled cap we were sold at the local shop is too difficult to open! It's like those pesky medicine bottle caps that you have to squeeze and twist at the same time to take it off and Mom just couldn't handle it and it was hard for me, my siblings, even the mechanic. The local gas station had trouble opening them. Whose genius idea was it to do that with a gas

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Some imperfections

Good price! in spare parts

I bought my Olds Intrigue used, only realized that the gas cap is not original until I ordered it. I was wondering what that "little" slot is for until I got this one - it's for the cable/latch so you don't lose the cap. And it just fits, "clicks/snaps” just right. Over the past few years I've learned to look to Revain dealers for parts rather than local dealers etc. I won't bore you with further details but will cover all the headlamp assemblies for my car <http://www.amazon…

Pros
  • Makes you happy
Cons
  • Negative impression
