STANT InStant Fill PN 41004 Gas Cap

The Z doesnt have a metal flap? That is strange cause most of my Hondas have a little metal flap from what I recall.

No, they don't. If you search you will find a few threads where people have asked this same thing. Even one where a guy said his (non-existent) flap fell in the gas tank!

thats really scary if it falls in....

Hey I just purchased this cap and yeah..... sux! Can fill my tank without having to hold onto it. It pops cntinuously if I just let it go. Unless I'm filling on a pump without that black hood.
Anyone else have to same issues? Any way to fix this?

Mine is still working good. Occasionally I have to re-tighten in because it throws an error code, but it only happens about once every six months.

simota1 · 03-27-2011, 05:45 PM

mine broke a couple months ago.... stupid cap lol

kdo2milger · 03-27-2011, 06:05 PM

ya its a pos!

it lasted me a whopping few months and the stupid spring lid kept popping off!!!

and ya i thought it was going to fall straight down into the tank :O

i called "stant" and they pretty much blew me off, said i needed to return it to the place of purchase to have it replaced!!!

screw stant until they fix the jacked up pos of a gas cap...

i tried to help them by telling them it was great for the first few months, then slowly started to self destruct, but they weren't interested in my feedback as a "customer" so screw em!!!

i put the oem back on and haven't looked back...

maybe i should delete this thread lol

flashburn · 03-27-2011, 07:39 PM

That's a shame. Are there any other caps like this from a different manufacturer? I'd probably just buy the same one if mine starts acting up. Can't look back now!

jpit · 03-28-2011, 12:24 AM

I've had mine for over a year and no problems at all.

simota1 · 03-28-2011, 09:09 AM

maybe stant has some qc issues.... cuz some peoples own breaks fast and others last really long? technically i only had mine for 3000k miles.... i always pumped my own gas and was always careful when i inserted the gas nosil but it still broke

flashburn · 03-28-2011, 09:35 AM

I've used mine for something like 20K miles, so yeah, I dunno. I'm not careful at all, just "wam, bam, thank you ma'am".

I was thinking about doing this, but sounds like there are some quality issues with the product and/or effects on CEL?

Any other products similar to, but better?

The tether design on our stock gas cap is bad. Where is the cap supposed to hang?!?!?!? So I have to hold it the whole time with my right hand as I fill up with the left.... terrible.
