ATV Fuel Caps for Can-Am
Caps for Can-Am ATV gas cans help prevent evaporation, splashing, and theft of gasoline from the tank. They are also designed to prevent air, dust, dirt, and other contaminants from entering the tank and mixing with the gasoline, which could lead to a problem with the vehicles engine. Years of use of your all-terrain vehicle or parking it outside on a regular basis could cause the cap to crack on the top or come apart at the threads, necessitating the replacement of the unit.
What are the features of ATV Can-Am fuel caps?- Resistance to rust and corrosion: The plasticized material is resistant to rust if it gets exposed to water. It also resists corrosion if gas splashes on it.
- Metal lock to prevent theft of fuel: The caps may have a metal locking mechanism that uses a key in order to prevent theft of the gasoline from the gas can.
- Plastic cord to prevent loss of the cap: A plastic cord attaches the cap of the gas can to the rim of the gas can so that the cap does not get lost or fall off when you are refueling your ATV.
- Choose the gallons of your fuel pack: The caps vary in size based on the number of gallons of gas that the fuel can holds.
- Select a cap type: Choose a fuel can cap with a plastic cord attachment, a single-piece screw-on cap, or a plastic cap that locks the fuel pack.
- Choose a manufacturer for the cap: Caps for Can-Am gas cans are made by manufacturers including Bombardier, BMP, Moose Utility, or the Original Equipment Manufacturer. There are also unbranded and custom caps available for the vehicles gas can.
A bad cap for the fuel can of your sport ATV could be responsible for the gas light coming on. If the fuel light regularly comes on in your Can-Am, despite there being enough gallons of fuel in the gas can, replacing the cap may resolve the check engine light. The gallons of fuel could be evaporating or splashing out of the fuel pack when you ride your Can-Am ATV over bumps. A bad ATV gas cap should also be replaced if it no longer fits tightly on the gas can. The threads on the gas cap may become stripped or cracked, causing it to not make a tight seal on the fuel pack of the vehicle. A crack in these plastic accessories is another time when the gas cap should be replaced. If the plastic fuel can lid has a lock but the lock mechanism is stuck or broke, a replacement cap may be needed. Replacing a fuel can cap with a broken locking mechanism helps ensure that nobody can drain the gallons of gas from your fuel pack.
