No Remove Gas Cap
Has anyone used one of these on their bike? Someone had it posted on another site. Interesting idea. Wife have factory installed gas cap like this on her 2014 Escape.

Do you happen to know what vehicle the ones you used were made to fit? Or possibly manufacturer part #?
Thanks, Dan

Well...
Here in CA some are not shipped and the elephant nozzels are a pain as it is but I like to fill the tank by slowly going the last bit till it bubbles out the vent slots something you can't do with thses caps...but hey..! When my arthritic hands can no longer twist the cap I may be in the market...

I wonder if that cap will even work with the Ca. nozzles?

You may have to go to specific gas stations with the least emcumbersome nozzles. I saw on that same link that Stant also has a cap but specifically says not for CA and a few other states.....

I believe 99% of the screw type gas caps have exactly the same thread size and pattern ...ie not vehicle specific ..... My Saab cap fit my Ford Mustang fine .... it also fit my three different Spyders.....hope this helps .... Mike

How do those caps handle the spit back that occurs when the tank is nearly full? It's a challenge to get that last gallon in without gas being spit back out the filler.

I used mine for few years before I got my RT and did a larger door .... I never noticed any " spit back ". and I fill my tank until it's at the lip ...... Mike

With the CA nozzles, you can't see the vent slots anyway...unless you cheat and hold the vapor recovery piece back against the spring.

Thats the way we have to do it here. They used to make a slotted plate you could jam on to hold it back...gonna look for one ... or make one...

I think it is NOT a good idea because it would be WAY too easy to overfill.
Or under fill since you can't SEE what is going on.
But since Mike thinks it is OK, I am obviously wrong.
