IUEC135ELEVATOR Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) When I turn the gas cap that little plastic retainer piece that goes to the hinge Always wants to spin with the gas cap and then it does a little loop de loop and bind up... I have to use one hand to hold the plastic retainer And the other hand to spin the cap in the cap so it does not bind up... Anyone else have this issue, and if so, Is there a replacement cap that's better. It's bugging me enough where I'm about to cut that retainer...(.....and.....then.?.. I'll leave my gas cap on the toolbox and drive off with it up there and have to buy a new gas cap anyways, so I might as well just buy a better replacement now.....That way I'm a diligent guy trying to rectify a situation and not a moron that left his gas cap on the toolbox???) Either way it's going to happen? Edited March 25, 2022 by IUEC135ELEVATOR Crappy spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCD Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Yes. A pain when new. A little silicone lube and work it around a bit. Now spins freely. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbone Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Yep, experiencing the same issue and it’s highly annoying. Ford is too cheap to put the capless filler on the Superduty gassers like on the F-150. The Superduty setup pretty much sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capless sucks IMO...one of mine works fine the other is a total PITA as stated above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bshort Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Yep, cap sucks too. I'll try the lube idea as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckDiesel Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Is there a specific reason it doesn't have a push-thru gas cap that you don't have to remove every time you fill up? My 16 F150 has one as does my wife's suburban. Can't remember the last time I had to unscrew a gas cap, though if the 2022 F250s all have screw ons, then I will be doing so next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see any reason other than what I stated in my previous post. You will be screwing it on next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have a defective one as I have had them on multiple vehicles with no issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
