Ok, since gas prices are off the hook here, some asshole in the aprtment i live in is stealing gas "hasnt got me yet" knock on wood.. but i went to the hyundai part dealer and ask about a cap that would lock and he gave me a cap for a truck..it looks just like the oem tibby cap.. but here is the thing there is no vent on it..here we run the map sensor and i have a return like of the fuel rail due to the fact that i have a fpr..will this work or not what do you all think

I thought our caps didn't have a vent? I do know that if you do not tighten them all the way or fail to replace them, you will get a cell.

I think he means CEL, check engine, because make sure your gas lid is tightened is one of the first things you do when you get one

Just to let you know your gas cap door can be opened from the outside with a debit card. Pry it in there and just flick, and it opens.

stupid.gif , I can actually open mine with just my fingers, the reason we have the interior release is so we dont' have the dimple on the gas door and it looks better.
