: Locking "DIESEL" Cap
02AlliMax 03-20-2005, 12:56 AM A little help is needed.....I know I've read it before, but I can't find the answer to my need. I have a 2002 Chevrolet Duramax and I need a locking fuel cap marked Diesel.
Thanks for the help......:ro)
T-Rex 03-20-2005, 01:07 AM You want the AC Delco GT250 locking fuel cap marked diesel with the provision to tether it like the stock cap.
acdelco.com has it.
Thankful 03-20-2005, 05:47 AM I went to the acdelco site but I couldn't find a locking cap. I found the regular non locking cap.
Thankful 03-20-2005, 05:52 AM I finally found it Rex, but the picture doesn't show it to be tethered. Thanks for your help.
D/A Power 03-20-2005, 08:38 PM Does anyone know if this cap (GT250) is O.K. to use on the LLY's? When I do the search, it only comes up under years up to 03. I was wondering if this cap is for a vacuum system vs. a vented system or vice versa.
JhnZ71 03-20-2005, 09:41 PM I bought a cheap cap at autozone, it seems to work fine, it says gas on the key but it only cost 11 dollars and it gets the job done
T-Rex 03-20-2005, 10:45 PM A lot of folks are using the GT250 cap for the LLYs. The non-locking cap, the GT230 for the vacuum system, is shown as a replacement for ALL years of the Duramax...and so it goes---the GT250 appears to work with no problems.
The GT250 I bought did not come with the tether attached however it did have a groove in the cap for the tether so I removed my old cap and attached the tether to the GT250.
I'm using the GT250 as well and have an LLY, no issues.
BlackMaxx 03-21-2005, 05:40 PM I'm using the one from my old silverado. Locking gas cap......plain and simple. No issues so far.:p:
King Nuzz 03-21-2005, 06:36 PM Does the Delco GT250 cap fit on 90s 6.5 trucks? What does it cost? Or is there a better deal out there on a simpler cap?
D/A Power 03-21-2005, 07:22 PM T-Rex & cid,
Where did yoiu guys get your caps from? I do not have a convenient retailer near me except maybe the stealer. Roughly what do you remember paying?

D/A Power 03-21-2005, 08:54 PM Thanks for the info cid! I tried to find a local dealer, but there weren't any that were convenient and most were just local repair shops. Thanks again!
txguppy 03-21-2005, 09:35 PM You have to "de-tether" the old cap and reattach the tether to the new fuel cap. Two small screwdrivers work fine.
dieselfumes57 03-22-2005, 01:10 PM Hmm mine says locked by glock on it.
hhfco 03-22-2005, 09:49 PM My supplier couldn't come up with a GT250 and we're a Delco Shop. My salesman's gnna get an ear full next time he stops in. Napa found me one by going back a couple years. Works fine, key says "fuel". But it's not tethered, which I think I like better. I'm the only one that fuels it and why have it hang against the paint.
