Premium Black Fuel Tank Cap: Gates 31849 OE Equivalent - Guaranteed Quality! Review

Bought because of a mistake and they said it was a lid. They wanted to charge me 100 for a cap. I didn't think it was a lid and didn't want to pay $100 for it. So I bought this and I was right. It wasn't a cap.

The plastic strap to attach to the car was not attached to the lid itself. Contacted them, basically told him "Jimmy gear up". Of course, he is not tied to a car. It might not matter much to some, but it's not OEM unless it's plugged into the cap.

I bought this gas cap because I was told that the gas cap is one of the reasons my car has a check engine light and a large EVAP leak DTC. The gas cap fits, but the rubber tab that holds it in place when unscrewing it broke as soon as I opened the box. I'll let you know later if the big EVAP leak code comes back or not.

Well, this rubber piece is even thinner than the original, so when you close the lid it compresses the rubber piece. Broke after 3 weeks.

Perfect fit for our car. The check engine light came on and the dealer charged us about $3,000 for parts and labor to replace a part that "might" need replacing. My friend then recommended replacing the gas cap, saying that this usually causes the check engine light to come on. We replaced the cap with this one, filled up the car and after about 60 miles the light went out. $35 vs. $3,000 for a car repair!

Don't waste your money on this product. To fix the P0244 MB 2008 C300 trouble code, you must first replace the gas cap and then disconnect the battery for 30 seconds. I did this and the light stayed on. My wife took the car to the dealership and after a $300 diagnostic test found out the problem was the gas cap (which I bought). They replaced the cap with an MB certified gas cap (priced at $42) and the code was cleared and the lights went out. So not only did I lose $25.78 on the gas cap, I…
