but, something I did not know…it’s not a locking system…is basically a pan head security bolt that you screw down after closing the cap. It’s a friction lock.
the security screw for the fuel cap can be defeated with a small chisel tapped on the edge counter clock wise…and maybe even a bit type bolt extractor.
Hell, my wife won't even drive my truck... and I don't mind. When we first dated, she had such an attitude when behind the wheel of my 96... plus she's says my truck is too big. So I have zero worries on this...
my wife is fine driving the F450 towing, my dog makes sure she is doing it right!
I have the Stant locking Diesel cap but don’t have a locking DEF cap. I‘d like to have a locking cap just to prevent folks just from screwing with the tanks. Too bad they are so expensive, but they do look nice. And I feel like if I get the DEF cap I’d want the matching diesel cap too. Lol!
I like them a lot. Expensive, but not as easy to defeat as the plastic ones. If someone wants in that bad, anything is defeatable. But for your average vandal/moron, these should do nicely
My wife doesn't put fuel in anything. Thats my job.

The BEM cap will (hopefully) keep a thief moving on to an easier target.
I got mine as a Christmas gift, love 'em.
As far as wife driving/towing...
My 5'1" beautiful spouse has more miles towing than I do. Quite a sight, F350, 40 foot RV, little tiny thing gets out of the driver seat.
So when you fuel up, you have to unscrew the security bolt, then secure it again afterwards?
This is what I don't like about them. I didn't want a screw lock I wanted a key, 90-180 degree turn max. I'm back to my locking Stant cap because I don't like having to fumble around with the tool to turn it with a key chain or other keys on it.
