I was not aware of that....I guess what I will do is use the center holes (if they at least line up) and then use smaller screws to just screw into the black ring of the existing fuel bezel. Otherwise, I'll still keep the bezel in place (have to, to hold the filler neck in place), and drill small screws to hold this door onto the existing bezel. A good bead of silicone should keep it all sealed up. Just concerned on how the white cover will look over the black existing bezel.

Got the cover in yesterday's mail. Indeed, it will not use the same 8 screw holes as the factory black filler neck bezel. The cover is good quality, and the white color looks clean against the RV's wall.

To make this cover a flush fit (against the camper wall), I'll need to carefully cut the OEM black plastic's outer ring off. To do this, I need to crawl underneath and see if this will cause any issues with the filler neck, as I think this OEM black piece bezel's function is to hold the gas filler neck in place.

Option two would be to grind the four corners round of the new locking cover to match the rounded OEM black bezel, then mount it against the OEM bezel. Then a nice bead of white silicone to cover the black bezel's sides.

I'll post what I did when I complete the install.

I got the Stant locking cap which I only use while the unit is in the RV storage lot. When we pull out, I put the OEM cap back on.

I know the feeling especially with the prices.

I've bought this one via Amazon. As others said, it's a Ford Chassis. 2015 Jayco Greyhawk 31FK is mine.

Bought a locking Stant for my Tahoe. Have not used it yet. Would not be surprised at a fault message when I do. Have always felt a little uneasy about unguarded gas tank, not so much for theft as vandalism. Same reason I put a locking door on my trailer fresh water tank. Don't want some blankety-blank dumping anything in either tanks.

As alternative, thinking about making some kind of cable pull or locking device on Tahoe gas fill door.

Only reason I'm putting on the locking cover (verses the gas cap) is that I'm not a fan of the ugly black plastic gas neck holder/bezel that is on my camper now. The white locking cover relates to the other doors used for storage. I will have to fab an "L" bracket to hold the filler neck in place, as the black bezel used now also holds the neck in place. The cover will sit flush against the body for a clean look.

As to locking caps or doors for gas protection, if a thief wants your gas (especially those in storage lots) bad enough, they simply drill into your gas tank, and drain it into a container. Darn near impossible to syphon from the fill neck these days.

I bought one that works on advanced auto parts online

On my 2024 Ford E450, I used the Stant 10510 and I got the “Check Filler Cap” warning then ultimately the check engine light came on. Had to go back to the original gas cap. May have to go to a locking filler door as others suggested. Apparently there is not a locking replacement at the moment.

Hi Emfriis. Check the dates of the posts. You are responding to a post made two years ago.

This is the one I use. Only problem, there is no retaining lanyard attached to it. I already left one on top of a gas pump. Keep the original with you, just in case.
The original post is over 2 years old. Might still be looking.
