Default Stant InStant Fill - Gas cap?

Does anyone have one of these or a similar gas gap?

Just wondering if its worth trying. Now that gas prices are somewhat affordable, I don't have to worry about stealing my gas.

Thanks,

Stick with the stock cap. I put a aftermarket cap that was suppose to work with my truck (05 Hemi) and it messed it up (pressure).

New Fords use something like this. They are capless. I prefer to have a regular cap myself.

I agree...I'd stick with stock and have no worries about pressure problems.

Not only about problems, but prices have been coming up slowly had you not noticed. Also, I just wouldn't trust people, even with low prices. People still stole gas at a low cost.

I totaled my first 08 ram, when gas prices were high, and wanted to the $60+ worth of gas out of my truck. My dad tried with two different types of hoses and it seems that there is an screen down past the cap. So even if prices go back up I wouldn't worry about it.

I'd wait or get a locking cap...from what I hear gas prices will be going up past what they were last year. So yea i'll be changing to a 87 tune when this happens
