Soft, Bill Kervaski got so mad at Hummer, it worked, they will send your transfer case to Alabama to take care Bill, your Hummer build date will be delayed by 3 more months. It is not too late, send 100 dozen Krispy Kremes donuts to Hummer plant, they will take the transfer case from someone else to build your Hummer.
I have the Hummer but I can't find the locking gas cap; you have the gas cap, but no Hummer. h2fan in New York is sending me a locking gas cap, thanks to h2fan. We are all helping each others, it is the Cyber Hummer Club. One of these day when technology is available, we can all have a cyber virtual reality Hummer off-road gathering, do some virtual group hug thing. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[HummerGirl]

Thanks H2Fan!

My new locking gap cap is on the way from h2fan. Amy, did you unscrew the current cap as someone suggested in previous post(which I cannot find)? I think it was Hummerbot. or did you just cut the current cap off? Where are these crews? on the vehicle at the opening of gas intake? not the ring around the cap?

[HummerGirl]

You know what....I did not even need any special tools to get the barb out of the hole.

I just kept wiggling and manuevering the end until it popped out. The end of the barb is T shaped so it only takes some "puzzle" work to get it out.

Take some paper towels with you as I got a little gas on my hands. I did not notice it at first but hubby said it was not an attractive scent on a girlie-girl.

That was me (hummerbot).

I used a little screwdriver to pop out the 'T' on the end of the gas cap leash. Didnt want to cut it so I could put it back stock.

Thanks to h2fan, I got the Stant 11589 locking gas cap from him in New York. h2fan, my check is in the mail. Fits perfectly. Now I am free to go back to my nasty cut throat back stabbing business practices without worrying about anyone put weird stuff into my gas tank.

Thanks to Hummerbot, I pulled out the cap attachment from the base easily, just wiggled it a bit.
I don't think I will paint the cap, I like the little warning letters on the cap, looks military to me. When I was in a combat engineering field company, we used to stencil paint letters on our military vehicles.
I did spray paint the license frame screws black by using model spray primer, which is mat black; also changed the dealer frame to a solid black frame, making my butt in solid all black color.

[HummerGirl]

I didn't get a dealer frame for license plate...

maybe I should whine and get one with my FREE oil change!!!

AMY...

Go to www.hummerstuff.com (http://www.hummerstuff.com) and look at the chrome hummer license frames. Maybe if you are good Santa Claus will bring you one as a stocking stuffer.

As long as I own this Hummer, the dealer will give free hand wash and shammy dry. 5 days a week if needed. Twice a week is average! /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[OLE YLLR]

WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR HUMMER AT!! THE WASH DEAL IS GREAT.

[Afreet]

I know it was posted earlier but what is the model of the locking gas cap from Pep Boys?

[h2fan]

stant 11589 for the gas cap

[HummerGirl]

Hey Tony...

Do the guys at Pep boys give you a discount for all these caps. you should buy a bunch and sell them on ebay!!!

Somebody is selling them on eBay. $25.

[MAC]

$5 profit per cap, all you need to sell is 12,000 caps to pay for the Hummer. If Uncle Sam is involved here, then you have to sell 16,000-20,000 caps. If you put HUMMER name on the cap, maybe there is another $5 pop, all you have to sell is 6,000 caps to pay for the Hummer. What you do is to start a rumor that someone somewhere put sugar or water in a Hummer without locking gas cap. Count them money! Laughing all the way to the bank! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[HummerGirl]

I did not see those. I got a better deal! I got a nice cap and made two new friends in the process! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

BIG Z- where did you get your H2? Not an authorized dealer, I bet. Your id says you're from central Oregon. That's a looooong way from the nearest Hummer dealer.

[Afreet]

I got the locking gas cap. The last one at the store. There are two possibilities, 1) it is not a very popular model, or 2) All of the H2 forum readers have been flocking to Pep Boys to buy that cap!

....now I just have to wait for my H2 to get here. ;-)

[mpetrich]

Just wanted to add that I got my locking gas cap today. Looks great! Thanks for the info.

[BKLYNH2]

Today I have joined the "I have a locking gas cap for an H2, but no H2" club. Fortunately I will no longer be a member on 12/2. That's the day I will finally get to use this thing.

[Big Z]

DRTYFN--Your right, I didn't get it from A Hummer dealer ( nearest is Vancouver WA). Any dealer that can get them are, mainly MB, where I got Mine. /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[HummerGirl]

Well while you are waiting you can be selecting your CD collection. Just put your 6 CDs and your gas cap in a shoe box and put aside until delivery.

Any body seen the SMA "aluminum locking fuel door"? Is it a gas cap or a flip out door? That's the question. It says sold out on the SMA web site:

I also got the last Stant locking cap at my Pep Boys. I heard they are a discontinued item (unless Stant gets the news and does something).

As a matter of fact, I bought one of Hummermom's locking gass caps at eBay. I suppose that's a Stant cap too.
Haven't gotten it yet from mailing address in Florida.
Now I was just wondering what the SMA deal is.
Is it a (locking) flipping (round) door, as the one designed by Bruce Canepa in his battle-ship-H2 or is it similar to the Stant cap, but made maybe a little more fancier in aluminum.
How's that 4 security: locking your gass with door AND cap!

[NSXTC]

Haven't seen what the STANT gas cap looks like, but has anyone modified the OEM cap to go over the STANT to give it that OEM look? Or does the STANT really look that good?

My concern is trying to keep the OEM look and that the STANT will look out of place.

Thanks.

believe me you can't tell and no one else can either.

The white writing on my cap has already worn off so you cannot even tell the difference.

I'm an artist and I am VERY funny about detail and this DOES not bother me one bit.

After returning to my vehicle after shopping ( on 3 occasions) and finding folks opening my gas cap it was a NO BRAINER that looks were not important.

The Stant 11591 is a replacment for the 11589. Just picked one up. Works fine.

[OLE YLLR]

PEP BOYS IN OCEANSIDE HAD THE 11589 LAST WEEK. IF YOU NEED ONE LET ME KNOW I'LL PICK IT UP FOR YOU. I THINK IT WAS $17.23 OUT THE DOOR.

[NSXTC]

I'm heading out later today and check. I might take up your offer if they don't have one.

Thanks.

Stant has a replacement nubmer as well fo rthe 11589, it's 10589. I got one at O'Reilly auto parts. $16.99 Worksfine and looks good. If the white lettering wears off like Hummer gril says so much the better. I feel much more secure now, with the wackos out there.

[NSXTC]

Kragen had the 11591 (was 11589). I didn't see any 11589, but remembered Big Z's post and there were 5 of the 591s.

Fits perfectly. Removed the 'warning' stuff using nail polish remover. It's all black and looks OEM as others said.

Thanks!

Just peeked at SMA's accessories again:

www.smahummer.com/store_h2.jsp (http://www.smahummer.com/store_h2.jsp)

Saw that their fuel door is taken of the list.

Probably needed some more adjusting in the design.

Just an FYI for anyone still looking for the Stant locking gas cap #11589...

I was able to order one from partsamerica.com $9.97 plus shipping

I just bought the Stant 11589 and it does NOT fit correctly. (Mine is silver with red lettering, but the same part number). It's hard to lock on, and nearly impossible to get off. Ackkk.

[OLE YLLR]

THE ABOVE WAS AT PEP BOYS AND IT HAS WHITE LETTERING. JUST PUT MINE ON LAST NIGHT AND IT FITS PERFECT. MAYBE YOURS WAS MISMARKED IN PACKAGE. OLE YLLR
