Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I own a Ford Ranger and when gas prices started to inch up I decided to go out and get a locking gas cap. I went down to my local Autozone and paid $16 buck for a Slant locking gas cap. A little pricey but decided to go ahead. The gas cap works, but takes 2 hands, and a prayer get off. My wife cannot use it, and at times I wish I had never put it on. A few times it has taken over 5 minutes to get off.
The problem I found, after much research, is that when you turn the key to the unlocked position and try and rotate off.....the key rotates with the gas cap and stays in the locked position. A real pain when reaching into the small recessed cubicle where the gas cap is located. So you need 2 hands. One hand holds the key in the unlocked position while the other grabs the base of the cap and twist until off she comes. You have to grab the base because your other hand is in the way holding the key.
I ordered the Motorcraft locking gas cap,(yea expensive) and to my surprise, when you rotate the key into the unlocked position I hear a little click and the key stays in the unlocked position. Now again I have a gas cap that works easy and with one hand. I am docking it a star because the price is way to high. Come on Ford it's just a gas cap!
