STANT InStant Fill PN 41004 Gas Cap

kdo2milger · 08-31-2009, 06:27 PM

i had a GSA vehicle last week, drove it to north dallas and back, it was a ford hybrid, so gas miliage was insane...

anyway when i got back i took it to the fuel point to top it off before turning it in and low and behold it had the same type of gas cap...

at first i thought the dumba$$ before must of lost the fuel cap

i musta looked at it for half a minute trying to figure out wether it was suppose to be like that or the cap was missing

i like the idea of not having to fiddle with a gas cap, so i decided to be the guinea pig

it doesnt throw a CEL because it has a spring loaded cover on the bottem of it. When you stick in the nozzle to fill, it pushes the cover down and sideways, when your done and you take out the nozzle, the cover pops right back into place and blocks air from getting in/out.

The fords have this as a factory installed option on all of the 09+ model year trucks now. (although theirs is built in, you cant remove it like a gas cap).

This looks nifty. I just wonder if you have to worry about anything going into the opening when you press the gas nozzle into the receiver such as rain water or whatever that might accumulate there?

this is a warning on their site...

"Warning: Do not spray this cap directly with a stream of water. This may allow water to enter the fuel system."

I would be concerned if false back pressure readings begin to trigger warning lights or "fuel cap missing" alerts due to this touchless gas cap.

I was about ready to buy a couple for my cars, but then I saw the NASCAR logo. Forget it.

For those of you that like stuff to magically show up at your door (like me) Amazon has it.

Just ordered two (+1 for the wife's xterra).

Nice find. Thanks!

It wouldn't be hard to remove it.

I was it on someones picture gallery and bought one. Works great! and the price I thought was very reasonable.

m4a1mustang · 08-31-2009, 10:06 PM

I can't stand that crap. When I drove to New York I stopped in Jersey for gas and some big fat guy filled up my Benz. I did not like!

m4a1mustang · 09-01-2009, 07:24 PM

I need this.
