Motorad MGC 907 Locking Fuel Cap Review

Well I just got back from the dealership where I was told the 'service required' and 'check engine' lights came on due to a leaking gas cap and Because it wasn't a stock cap, it was out of warranty and I had to pay them $100 to reinstall my old cap to reset the light. What is POS. $100 at the dealer and paid for two days (when my hubs came in from work to take me to work and then today to go to the dealer and leave it there all day). Think twice. A full tank of gas in my small car costs about…

At first I was a little confused how to use this gas cap because it didn't come with any instructions. If it came with some kind of paper explaining how to use it I would rate it 5 stars. After realizing it was a bit difficult to open (I thought it was difficult to open because it was locked, which it wasn't) and spinning endlessly when locked, I was quite impressed! If anyone really wanted to climb into my gas tank right now, they would surely get tired of twisting the cap and lose hope of…

Advantages: Effectively protects your gas from theft Easy to use and install Low cost Comes with 2 keys Disadvantage: Can cause the check engine light with error codes for large / small evaporator leak (you have to tighten it really hard to prevent this) When the head is "locked" it spins freely so you have to hold the cap to unlock/lock it (a bit awkward). Overall I recommend this for a medium quality fuel cap, especially if you drive around town a lot.

I bought this for my 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon because gas theft is common here in Hawaii. Although this cap has the correct thread design when installed, it will produce a "Check Engine Light" error due to fumes evaporating from the cap. I do not recommend this to any Jeep Wrangler. The Revain vehicle handbook will inform you that this cover is compatible with your Jeep. The cap fits the jeep but again gives a "Check Engine Light" error.

I should have trusted the reviews. The locking mechanism here is odd and either doesn't work or is so complicated that it's functionally impractical. It seemed to work fine at first, but on the road it wouldn't even stick to the vehicle (let alone the lock). Luckily I threw the old non-locking cap in the Jeep "just in case" (since there were so many reviews saying it didn't work well) so I could pull it out and get the gas cap for the rest of the ride . live and learn Just another of the many…
