Customer Review
Easy Install!
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!

Easy installtion, looks OEM
I got this locking gas cap for my 2005 Ford Escape and it installed perfectly using the factory tether. I just used a screwdriver to stretch the original cap out of it and stretched this new cap into it. Looks perfectly OEM. Love it. Took me maybe 2 mins to install total including removing the old one.$14 and an OEM look for piece of mind is worth it to me. Don't hesitate to buy this. As always, AMAZON PRIME for the win! Got it in 2 days, free shipping.

Product Description
Stant locking gas caps are OEM quality both in construction and materials as well as deterrent to fuel theft and vandalism. A gas/fuel cap performs three very important functions; safety of the vehicle's occupants, fuel economy and reduce emissions. Safety: Without a fuel cap, gasoline vapors will be present around your car at all times. Those vapors can be ignited by a random spark or flame and are very dangerous if you are involved in an accident or rollover. Fuel Economy: According to Sun Oil Company research, a vehicle with a missing or inoperative fuel cap will allow 176 pounds (22 gallons) of gasoline to evaporate over the period of one year. Emissions: Gasoline vapors emit hydrocarbons which dissolve the earth's ozone layer and cause smog. Top to learn more
Good gas cap after difficult installation
With gas prices creeping higher and a tank of gas hitting the realm of financing available, I thought it wise to protect my fuel investments with a locking gas cap. The cap looks much the same as the Ford factory cap with the addition of the lock, of course. The retaining ring fits but it's not an easy battle. After much prying and pulling and creative use of energy, the ring came off of the old cap and getting it onto the new cap took about twice the effort. It's possible but not easy. Instructions might have helped, but I didn't see any. For that it only gets 4 stars. The locking mechanism is first-rate. It's not coming off without a key or some serious power tools. Thieves beware!
