Found a Locking Fuel Cap for CX2510

[Santa Craig Cringle]

I bought Duralast PN 5991 from Autozone this weekend. Two locking fuel caps and 4 keys for $14.99 I think.
The fuel caps themselves are scant on documentation, and do not state use for diesel or gas - just says "GAS" on the cap, but the packaging states "Fuel". Packaging did not state specifically that it was a vented fuel cap either and it wasn't obvious to me that it was. However, it screwed on well and locked in place. Appears to be good.

I only operated the tractor for about 5 minutes with no issues after installation, but I'll report back here next time I have the tractor out for an extended time as to whether it has any issues. I don't think it will but I'm not up to speed on the science of fuel ventilation, etc.

Why do you want a locking fuel cap in the first place is beyond me.... Just another key to misplace.

Just a basic step I'm taking to prevent vandalism. The OEM locking fuel cap uses the same key as the tractor and anyone with a Kioti master key could use it. I wanted something with its own key.

Just part of several things I'm doing to give me some peace about leaving my tractor at a vacant 34 acre property (the most important of which is tractor insurance).
