Not worth your money

According to my experience, this gas cap doesn`t fit securely and keeps falling off. The only advantage is that it looks decent. The downside is that it's completely unreliable..

Pros
  • Secures fuel tank from theft and tampering
Cons
  • Requires a key to unlock and access the fuel tank, which could be inconvenient in emergency situations.

Not compatible with 74 " Ford Maverick

Not compatible with my 2dr 73" Ford Maverick as advertised. The product is good. However, I need to remove the plastic gasket around the locking lug and add my own o-ring that fits the base of the gas port. So it's 1 inch from the base. I will also have to solder the lock splines a bit as they are too short. Only 3 starts to be honest because I got tired of looking for another gas cap. The diameter of this one is perfect, it's just that the locking mechanism has problems with shortened teeth…

Pros
  • Plug
Cons
  • Expensive
