Gates 31842 Fuel Tank Cap Review

2008 Mercury Mariner - I have a plastic wire cap with a longer plug/screw in the part that tells me if my gas cap is loose or not. I didn't even have to order it. The lock seems to work but I should have cut the cord on the original and the loose lid warning didn't work so I'm very bad for ordering.
