Her's my two cents worth. I bought a locking gas cap for my 51 and smelled raw gas the next time I took the car out. Gas was sloshing out past the cap on right turns even when the tank was half full. I could see the gas running down the outside of the car as well as down the outside of the filler pipe. Had to put the old cap back on. I got the locking cap from a guy on ebay who represented it as a New Stant cap. It came without a box and was not marked by Stant at all. Paid something like $60.00 for it. The problem was the cap would not go on tight enough for the rubber would seal. I also found that all I had to do was wiggle it a little and it would come off. So much for LOCKING gas cap. When I contacted the seller I was told " I was the only guy to ever complain. E-buyer beware.
