Review on Stant Regular Locking Fuel Cap in πŸ”’ Sleek Black - Secure Your Fuel With Confidence by Jacob Kuntz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Stant used to produce decent quality products. This piece of junk.

rubbish, not recommended. When I first installed the lid, I tested it first to make sure it was unlocked, so I figured I was done. The first time we hit the gas it took us almost 1/2 hour to unlock. During the last attempt, the lock cylinder and key fell out. The only way to remove the gas cap back then was with a screwdriver. Without a lock cylinder, the cap is not only useless as a gas cap, it is also more airtight, which can result in an engine check code for a loose gas cap. Just make sure you don't throw away the original gas cap because you'll need it if this piece of junk breaks. You will also need tools to pry it off the filler neck if it hasn't already fallen apart. Also, the original gas cap for my car comes with a cable so I don't lose it. It is not possible to lay a cable on the gas shut-off cap. In this case, its loss is more of a blessing than an inconvenience.

Pros
  • caps
Cons
  • brief instructions
