BETTER THAN THE BEST Replacement Parts

Replaces a competitor's easy to break gas cover. It seems much better in design. However, I don't find the plastic cap a deterrent, hence the 3 stars.

Pros
  • Lock opens with 1/4 key turn
Cons
  • Negative impression

Just a visual deterrent. Lock won't prevent you from removing cover

Easy keyless removal by simply squeezing the sides together. More visual deterrent and gimmick. waste of time and money. Don't buy if this isn't what you're looking for.

Pros
  • Locking mechanism deters fuel theft and vandalism
Cons
  • Poorly designed

Easy for my wife to use.

We've had reports of people stealing gas in our area so I decided to buy this cap. I wasn't sure if my wife could easily remove and attach this, but she did. I just warned her not to turn the key while turning it lest it pick the lock. So far, so good.

Pros
  • The seals are fuel resistant rubber
Cons
  • I don't really like it, everything is fine
