I need a new gas cap and found this while searching. I know ebay isn't the most reliable source for parts but this doesn't seem too bad. Anyone have experience with these?

wow that looks convenient! I'll probably end up buying one if someone has experience with these.

 

lmao we getting lazier and lazier

 

What happens when rain water gets in there?

 

Thats kinda expensive. Any thread cheap gas cap will work fine such as fram, $10.

 

I believe a bunch of new Fords are shifting into this style of cap

I believe there is a flap of some sort, so it should only be "open" when you insert a nozzle in there (that's what she said)
It should avoid the operator error of not tightening the gas cap properly and triggering the EGR Check Engine light, and should reduce evaporation losses slightly.

 

You mean trigger the EVAP code?

 

Yea all the new Fords come with this type of gas cap which has a flap that "locks" and won't open unless you actually insert the gas pump nozzle. I'm just questioning the quality of these on ebay. I mean, it looks good, but I'm just kinda iffy about it. Has anyone tried one, or know of someone who has?

 

+1 on that.. whats wrong with replacing a cap with OE one?

 

Nothing wrong with it, but if I can upgrade and make my life just the slight bit easier why not? Plus it's just something new that I'd like to try and just wanted to see if anyone had any experience with it?

 

i think no one else has tried it here. give it a go and report back

 

What he said^^^ Lets us know how that works out for ya, Maybe it i'll be a good upgrade or a bad one.

 

Curious to see how this works too. Report back stat!

 

I've not used that one, but I've used Stant before. If it is truly a Stant, it should be fine. It's a quality company that has been around forever.

+1 Agreed

i may give this a try too, nice find
