I recently purchased this Fuel Tank Cap as a replacement for the OEM one that failed on my Saturn wagon. Not only did it fit exactly as described but is was significantly easier to insert and remove than the OEM version that came with my car.I am a very pleased customer.
Cap is on a GMC Sierra 3500 diesel.Cap works, but I've seen easier to operate locks, however the price is right.
Purchased this for a 1978 Chevy Silverado. When the cap is placed on the truck and locked, a seal is not created. Consequently, if the tank is full, fuel can escape- or fumes are escaping most the time. A thicker o-ring would likely solve the problem.
On two different cars (Chrysler and Kia) caps failed to seal and brought on the Check Engine light.The old PermaCap was on a Lincoln for many years with no failures.Basically the Instant Fill is an inferior design. The Stant will also allow moisture to collect in the flap door depression which unloads into the tank when the filler nozzle is inserted.It is a terrific idea, but needs better product design and engineering.
Looked all over for locking cap for 30 foot Coachmen Motorhome with V10 Ford Chassis.Started looking on line for places with pictures of their products.Found one to match.Cap works great so far, unlocks easily and goes back just like the original non locking cap.Seems to be a good product for a very reasonable price.
For over a year I was dealing with "Check Engine" lights having to do with a large emission leak.I originally changed the gas cap with the Volvo OEM cap at twice the price thinking this would solve the trick.Nope.
My factory cap is under a recall. I've replaced it twice. First time was at 4000 miles. In a word the factory cap is junk. Buy this one and be over it. This cap will fit next to the filler neck when filling with gas. Stant 10841 is the proper cap for the 2005 GTO. Application guide will say different.
Ordered this item to replace original gas cap on a 2006 Miata just out of warranty and the Check Engine light had been going on.I understand that poor seals may cause this and the manual confirmed.Took care of the problem at a nice low cost.This unit did not come with a retaining loop so I recycled the one from the original cap by drilling a hole of identical size in the handle of this cap.Good as new!
Ordered this even after reading the review stating how difficult to install.It took me two minutes at best.You need two flat head screw drivers.Using both flat heads around the plastic ring about 1/4" apart, the ring easily peels off.Putting the ring on the new cap is a cinch!I wouldn't recommend installing in cold weather.You need to stretch the factory plastic ring a little . . . so some warmth is a plus!(Now don't use a flame you idiot!)Usually these types of parts are installed by "professionals" and no instructions are needed for these types of items. However, you need not to be a rocket scientist either.Just a little common sense!
This Cap is for the 2005 Chevy Silverado Extended Cab 2WD.
The cap worked very well, however, it came with only ONE key. With three drivers in our home, I needed 2 more keys. First I tried all the local hardware stores and none of them had the blank. They noted that it was an unusual 2 sides key, and that I should check with a locksmith. They all said they could make a one sided key and that those blanks were common. Each one had their favorite locksmith, and I saw every one. They could not help me because of, "NO BLANK". Each one said that they come from China, and they don't want to pay for American blanks, so they use their own. Stant could not help me, nor could the supplier, Great Lakes Wholesalers. I had to return your cap and buy one from Pep Boys.
