Interesting. I ordered a few of these from my suppliers, in different
brands, both locking and nonlocking. While I sell a German replacement
locking gas cap for only $15, I'm certainly not adverse to selling a better
or alternative product. But the caps I received have a much, much smaller
outside diameter than a Vanagon gas cap, and while they do latch on, they
look somewhat odd to me on the Vanagon - like they're too small. Is this
what you are using?
