🔒 Gates 31828 Locking Fuel Tank Cap: Secure Your Fuel with Confidence! Review

Will work on a 2000 Lincoln Town but not recommended unless you really need a locking gas cap. It doesn't click and you usually have to use both hands to lock or unlock it. Although it still works.

Identical key for lock cap which I replaced. I couldn't believe what I bought many years ago could have the same key. I'm wondering if these keys are different or if they are all the same.

I ordered this after returning the previous cover which was supposed to fit a 1998 Ford Ranger but did not. Revane says THIS cover will NOT fit a 1998 Ford Ranger but I found it fit perfectly! This lid is easy to use, although it does require holding the lid while turning the key to unlock it. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with a strap like the OEM Factory Cap.

Follow instructions - insert key, turn 90 degrees counterclockwise, turn back 90 degrees clockwise, remove key, turn cap 90 degrees counterclockwise , remove cover and everything works perfectly every time. Fill the tank, insert the cap, twist clockwise until it clicks and locks back into place. Also, the old cap didn't cover the tank, allowing moisture to mix with the ethanol-based gas (bad). This cap restored the tightness of the filler neck of the tank.

I bought this for a 2000 Crown Victoria gas type. It fits, but when you unscrew it it twists like a soda cap, you have to unscrew it. It's not like a pill bottle that you unscrew and when it's tight it clicks. The instructions say to screw it in until you hear a click, but the click never happens with this gas cap. Therefore it never snaps. I bought a store brand gas cap and now my p0455 code is gone.

Fits my '99 Ford E-350 Econoline Van to get used to. Remember, once it's truly locked, it can rotate 360 degrees in either direction. If it doesn't spin freely, it's not blocked. To unlock it, you need to hold the cover, insert the key, turn the key counterclockwise, pull out the key, and then remove the cover. Of course, just cancel this process to lock.
