Stant Locking Gas Cap

Anyone using this gas cap? I just wanted to see if there are any cons in regards to it?

Used them in prior cars and never had an issue.

I'm currently using the Ford locking fuel plug I picked up from the dealer which works great.

Yes the plug, lol. I want to get one mainly because ford left the fuel door open to anyone. I had a friend that had someone pour corn syrup in his gas tank, and had to pay a lot to have his fuel pump replaced and the entire fuel system cleaned out.

Cror1,honestly would stick with the oem fuel cap for many reasons,but primarily for warranty,the evaporative system is linked to the fuel cap,so for a peace of mind get the oem,unless you want a cap with big letters saying STANT to stick out. http://www.tascaparts.com/ford/taurus/8u5z9c268b/2013-year/sho-trim/3-5l-v6-gas-engine/exterior-cat/fuel-scat/?part_name=locking-fuel-plug ,nothing against stant,stick with the oem for assurance purposes both in quality and a safeguard from any issues you might encounter,good luck.

The stant is the OEM version, looking at the reviews on amazon, many like them on fords. But I didn't know tasca sold them thank you.

I apologize for putting my nose in,but also checked amazon,that part number 10524 says it does not fit,the correct one is http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Ford-8U5Z-9C268-B-Fuel-Filler/dp/B001H1O688/ref=au_as_r?ie=UTF8&Make=Ford%7C54&Model=Taurus%7C697&Year=2014%7C2014&n=15684181&s=automotive&vehicleId=2&vehicleType=automotive ,same part # as Tasca

Yeah that'sweird, according to amazon it doesn't fit, but according to eBay, these caps fit the 2013 sho. No I appriciate your help, don't feel nosy, in fact that's why I put the thread about it to see if I can get any insight.
