Isn't fuel filler lid supposed to be locked when all the doors are locked? I can close and open it no matter if the doors are locked or unlocked.

I just don't want someone to tamper with it when doors are locked.

My EX fuel filler lid will not open unless the driver door is unlocked and closed.

You can try any auto parts store.

But why would you want a locking gas cap if your fuel filler lid locks? Or am I missing something?

How do you open fuel door?

 

[Tim-in-CA]

With drivers door unlocked, push on the fuel door corner

The question is why doesn't Kia use capless fuel fillers when they have been prevalent in some brands like Dodge for several years?

I personally would rather have a cap, easier to replace and cheaper if/when that flap gives out in the neck. I have a ford with the capless and sometimes it can get dirty and not seal correctly and give you the CEL, a simple in and out of the gas nozzle a few times takes care of it though. Some I know it has gone bad and is a couple hundred to fix if not under warranty. A cap cost a few bucks.

That's understandable I guess, but I've have capless fillers in my Charger and Grand Cherokee for 8 years now and never had an issue. It's one of those things you get used to and kind of miss when you don't have it anymore.

Different question... Has anyone found a suitable replacement filler door? Something along the lines of what you see on the Jeeps and Challengers, with a carbon fiber appearance. Had one on my Durango.

If you are unable to find a replacement door, wrapping in carbon fiber vinyl may be another option. Probably cheaper too.
