You mentioned misplacing the keys. When I bought my truck, which had been sitting, it had two locking gas caps-no keys.
They were those Stant caps. I called the company they sent out both keys no charge.

If you get the Dennis Carpenter cap expect this:
- You will need to repaint the red stripe every 1-2 years.
- After a while the cap seal will get loose and not seal well enough to prevent fuel from spilling on right turns with a full tank. You will need to bend the tabs from time to time to bet it to seal tighter.
-Other than that it works fine.

But remember as their package tout, "Fits Right, Made Better, Lasts Longer"
Not so much as the crooked printing on this instrument lens proves. I've called and emailed them about it and never had a reply. The TEMP gauge lettering (not shown here) is the worst as the printing all climbs up hill. I had to modify their new bezel to even fit their new lens.

Everybody knows you don't fill the tank to the top except on road trips and you don't park on a side hill driver side down. Been 5yrs and the paint still looks the same.

I would think we all have to make at least 1 right turn to start a road trip, like the 3,000mile one we took form Cali to AZ and Utah.
I understand that unfortunately we all have to make allowances for bad design, poor quality and poor workmanship but that gets old. People just need to make their stuff right.
There is a lot of great workmanship that has been done by folks here on this forum so why can't the "pros" with all the resources and equipment they have do better?
If my daughter at 16 can assemble her own cylinder heads then put 120k miles(so far) on her '66 Mustang we build from the ground up I expect more from the Carpenters and Drakes of the world.

The gas tank is vented through the cap no getting away from it.
