Requires 2 hands but works well.

The lock is quite a hassle, it has a tension that will cause the whole assembly to turn if not held in place. Works well, despite this nuance.

Pros
  • Fuel resistant rubber seals.
Cons
  • Mostly ok but...

Could be better

The gas cap was as damaged as it used to be (there were dents on the sides as if it had been dropped on concrete several times) and there were no keys to block it.

Pros
  • The lock opens with a 1/4 turn of the key
Cons
  • Vulgarity
