FAQs
Can I use this on both petrol and diesel engines?
Yes, the ELF006 is designed to be compatible with both petrol and diesel fuel systems within the supported vehicle list.
What should I do if I lose both keys?
Since this is a security device, there is no master key. It is recommended to store your spare key in a secure location, such as with your vehicle's logbook.
Does this cap meet legal inspection requirements?
Yes, the cap is built to meet MOT requirements and current European standards for fuel systems.
Is the installation difficult?
No, the cap is designed for a simple, tool-free installation that replaces your factory cap in seconds.
Will the lock freeze in winter?
The cap is made from weather-resistant materials; however, like any external lock, keeping the keyhole clean and occasionally lubricated will prevent freezing in extreme conditions.
Troubleshooting
Cap is difficult to turn after locking
Ensure the key is fully inserted into the cylinder before turning, and apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the lock mechanism.
Fuel light remains on or vehicle shows a leak warning
Remove the cap, check that no debris is stuck to the gasket, and reinstall it, ensuring it is tightened until it clicks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: Simply remove your existing fuel cap by turning it counter-clockwise. Insert the Equip Locking Fuel Cap and turn clockwise until you hear the locking click or feel it seat firmly. To lock, insert the key, turn to the locked position, and remove the key.
Compatibility: This model is specifically compatible with a range of models from Dacia, Fiat, Nissan, Vauxhall, Opel, and Renault. Verify your vehicle's compatibility prior to installation.
Care: To ensure the locking mechanism remains smooth, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the keyhole annually if you notice any resistance. Regularly inspect the rubber seal for debris or cracks to ensure the airtight fit remains effective.
