I recently bought a locking gas cap for my 2006 F250 diesel from Pep Boys. It appears there is not a Ford one. Is this really true?
I was wondering if anyone has a work around for the tie down cable that keeps the cap from falling when it is unscrewed?

 

I doubt ford ever had a locking cap. I have a Stant locking cap, I once reused the OE retaining ring. The stock caps can come apart and the strap has a loop that goes around the cap. My stant cap has a groove that accepts it, but the red trim ring that should hold the ring to the cap kept coming loose.

I suspect a couple of drops of glue will keep the new cap together. However, I just deleted mine. If I were to need it again, I would drill a small hole in the cap, and use nylon covered SS fishing line to retain it.

 

Ford does have locking gas caps. They are used for none North American vehicles.

 

Do you have access to a part number or maybe who the OEM was on them?

 

I work for Ford, here in Ontario. I am on holidays for two weeks but I could check when I get back June 29th.

 

Ford has one & the strap wraps aroundthe cap & is attached to the vehicle with a self tapping screw beside the filler tube. Try OEM Pt No F67Z9030DA

 

When you get back from holiday is fine....Thanks

 

Plump forgot about the part number for the locking gas cap. I'm back on Monday the 6th, I check for you then.
