It was reported last 2008 that the sales of locking gas cap
has been tripled. With the price of fuel rising up almost every week, there are
bad people that are stealing fuel from other cars. So for this reason, car
owners have to protect their ‘Liquid Gold’ from such illegal things.
Mainly a locking gas cap would protect your fuel tank and
your fuel from being stolen or tampered with. But be careful when purchasing
such gas caps. You may face problems with it especially if the gas cap isn’t
compatible with your tank so you would need to be sure that the new cap has the
same seals and responds to similar pressure circumstances as the stock one.
Some drivers make their own gas caps but that is not really advisable to do. An
aftermarket can work but you may still want to check if it works properly with
your vehicle. You may save some cash with aftermarket caps, but it can give you
headaches so investing with an OEM would allow you to be secure that your new
cap is safe.
And a quick piece of advice for those drivers that are
thinking of having a locking gas cap and for those that are already have one
installed, make sure that you have the spare key inside your car just in case
you lost the original key for your locking gas cap.
