The truck in my signature does not require releasing the Fastguns to open the fuel door. It touches the door but no problem fuelling like that.

One thing to check when deciding on a fast gun style or a simple turnbuckle. Can you open the fuel door with the TC and the tie down tight. If it opens get what you want. If you have to loosen it to open the fuel door, fast gun style is the only way to fly. On my F350 I have to pull the pin and slack the fastgun to open the fuel door. No way, no how I am messing with a turnbuckle every time.
We just completed a trip with another Ford hauling a TC and I was able to compare my short bed alongside their long bed. The fuel filler is farther back and closer to the rear wheel well on the short beds which allow it to clear the tie downs without any interference. The long beds place the filler closer to the cab right in line with most tie downs which makes access impossible without removing one end of the tie down. I always heard about people complaining about this yet never had the problem - Now I see how easy I have it compared others. I see no functional reason for the filler door shift between beds other than aesthetics or styling but the short bed tanks are smaller...

I use the turnbuckle on rods and they are simple and work just fine. I do not really see paying the extra $$ for the fast guns. It only takes a few minutes to install and adjust the turnbuckles.
