Hi ...

I want to get a lockable gas cap on my Rubicon. Does anyone know if a generic
off-the-shelf lockable cap will work or do I H A V E to use a Jeep product
with a special seal?

I ask because the generic one sets off a warning light on my GC.

Thanks very much.

A gas cap is a gas cap. Take the stock gas cap to your annual smog
inspections, the locking cap may not pass.

I would purchase one from the dealer. You have to have an adequate seal at
the filler neck in order for the evaporative emissions test to pass, hence
the check engine light in your GC. Don't skimp/be a polluter.

Plus, they are relatively inexpensive for a dealer item.
