Product Description
Stant locking gas caps are OEM quality both in construction and materials as well as deterrent to fuel theft and vandalism. A gas/fuel cap performs three very important functions; safety of the vehicle's occupants, fuel economy and reduce emissions. Safety: Without a fuel cap, gasoline vapors will be present around your car at all times. Those vapors can be ignited by a random spark or flame and are very dangerous if you are involved in an accident or rollover. Fuel Economy: According to Sun Oil Company research, a vehicle with a missing or inoperative fuel cap will allow 176 pounds (22 gallons) of gasoline to evaporate over the period of one year. Emissions: Gasoline vapors emit hydrocarbons which dissolve the earth's ozone layer and cause smog.

I bought the Stant 11504 for a 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Several other reviewers indicated that it fits previous year models of FJ Cruisers. I just wanted to add 2011, too. The cap fits and functions perfectly, once the factory cap and lanyard are removed. After putting a few tanks of gas through it, I've had zero issues or complaints. I doubt I'll ever need the factory cap again.
It's really a shame that so many factory fuel doors and gas caps don't lock. If you wish to deter the most common gasoline siphoning attempts, or worse, intentional contamination or vandalism of your vehicle's fuel supply, then the locking Stant fuel caps are a significant improvement over a factory cap. I've tried all sorts of methods to remove the Stant, short of smashing the cap with tools, and nothing has worked without the key. Unfortunately, like the factory cap that it replaced, the Stant is mostly comprised of plastic. It's not Fort Knox, but I believe it will deter all but the most determined criminals from tampering with your vehicle's fuel supply. If you're using this cap, there are just so many easier (unlocked) targets for them to go after, instead.
I gave it a five star rating, but really it probably deserves 4.5 stars. Perfection would have been a full metal housing surrounding the lock cylinder and cap. Overall, I recommend it. Very inexpensive protection.

I don't know why Toyota makers didn't include a Lockinf fuel Cap for the FJ Cruiser. If you are concerned about your FJ engine integrity I think that this Fuel Cap can be a very good add on to your vehicle.
