Now we all know more about a plastic part that will likely never use that we ever need to know, but it’s good to know
“Knowledge is Good”. ….. Dean Wormer
Actually - it'll be useful to know on the 2nd tire change.
When you say - "wasn't there a plastic part in here last time?"

Meh. The gas thief is just gonna punch a hole in the tank. No prints, out of sight. Better armor-plate the tank while you're adding the locking cap!

And encase anything that looks like the cat, again for stupid thieves ready to cut anything out.

Not talking about thiefs..... if they want anything... they figure out how to get it. Its the neighborhood knuckleheads (kids) who got nothing better to do.... every city I have lived in (30yr military post migration - both on and off post and overseas) has had them. 😉
