Abstract A locking gas cap adapted for universal use with both larger-diameter and smaller-diameter filler necks includes a central cylindrical closure member extending downwardly from the cap shell and having a diameter just slightly smaller than the smaller-diameter filler necks to guide the closure telescopically into the end of the smaller-diameter filler neck, and a pair of opposed, perimetrally extending indentations formed in the circumference of the closure member for cooperating with perimetrally extending protrusions formed in a cylindrical outer sleeve member to lock the sleeve member onto the closure member. The sleeve member has an outside diameter slightly smaller than the larger-diameter filler necks to guide the closure telescopically onto the larger-diameter filler necks when the sleeve is in place, to adapt the gas cap to the larger-diameter filler necks. An annular gasket is mounted onto the closure member and includes a sleeve section which grips the closure member, an annular outer section for engaging the upper lip portions of the filler necks of both larger- and smaller-diameter filler necks and an axially inwardly opening central annular recess portion for receiving the sleeve member so that the sleeve member extends substantially to the axially outer end of the closure member.
