Terrible Quality Gas Cap

This gas cap is not worth the money. Automotive enthusiasts will be disappointed in its poor build quality and lack of durability. My analysis of this product showed that it was susceptible to leaks and rust. While it did fit my car, the cap was hard to twist and often became stuck.

Pros
  • Affordable
Cons
  • Susceptible to leaks and rust.

Pros
  • Gas cap
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

After that, a typical whirlwind came in the packaging and all parts are very light and clearly visible. The gas cap was a nice and shiny metallic black that looked really…

Pros
  • Cap
