Seal and vent your fuel tank, and keep the cap within reach, with the Motorad Non-Locking Tethered Fuel Tank Cap, MPN MGC-817T. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1988-1999 Chevrolet C1500 4.1L / 4.3L / 5.0L / 5.7L / 6.2L / 6.5L / 7.4L and the 1999-2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4.3L / 4.8L / 5.3L / 6.0L. It suits vehicles originally equipped with a tethered cap. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Specifications: The cap is round, black and made of plastic, with white indicator markings. It is vented, non-locking and screws on. A tether keeps the cap attached to the vehicle. The listed applications use one cap each.
A fuel cap that no longer seals or tightens, is cracked or missing, or sits near a fuel odor may need replacing. If a faulty cap is the cause of an evaporative-system warning, this replaces it. Diagnose the cause first.
