Question Locking Gas Cap
I dunno if this is in the right forum, but does anyone know the CORRECT locking gas cap for a 98 Z28?! I can't find one that will fit to save my life!

one does not really need locking gas caps anymore. The cars today are not like the older style where on can put a hose down your filler tube and suck gas out, unless you have *** that are putting crap in your gas tank.

I bought one from autozone for like 6.00, it didnt fit, the little triangle shaped lugs that engage in the two slots in the neck are just a tiny bit large. 2 minutes with a dremel fixed that.

I went to Autozone and asked for a locking gas cap for a 99 Camaro. I paid however much it was, maybe like $10, and it fits and works perfect. Very good investment.

I'm curious to hear why they can't. I siphoned the gas out of my tank before I swapped fuel pumps. 98 Camaro here.

The 98 Filler necks are differnt from other years. I tried moding a couple of gas caps.I modded a Stant gas cap but the plastic is weak.The best one to run on a 98 is ACDELCO part# 22660006. There are triangle tabs on them all you gota do is file down our use a dermal tool to cut the tabs slightly for it to fit. And it will work perfect.

Motorad MGC804 locking gas cap (Canadian Tire) also worked perfectly on my 98 after I followed your filing tips
