Motorad MGC827T Fuel Tank Cap

Motorad Tethered Fuel Tank Cap MGC827T

The Motorad MGC827T is a tethered fuel tank cap built with OEM-quality materials and safety standards from an OE supplier. It is designed for vehicles that need a black, pressure-relief fuel cap with a tether to help maintain proper sealing and emissions control.

With pressure and vacuum relief valves, this fuel cap helps reduce fuel evaporation and supports compliance with state and federal emissions requirements. A worn or leaking cap can create drivability and evaporative-emissions issues, so replacing it with the correct threaded, tethered design matters.
