I've been thinking about investing in a locking gas cap but they can be a real pita. Is anyone hearing about fuel thefts on the increase? I park my truck in a lot for a week at a time and don't want any surprises when I get back. On the Harley forum, on guy has been hit 4 times already. Must be pretty desparate to go after a vehicle that probably onlyhas 2-3 gallons in it.

 

 

ebay has some nice ones for around $20. i was thinking about getting one myself.

 

roadking096Good point as the price goes up....up the chances increase. I'm surprised that someone hasn't stolen a Semi fuel truck and buried the trailer on his land and abondon the truck somewhere else. 7.5k gallons is a very tempting target. Several years of need.[sm=icon_cheers.gif]

 

I bought a locking cap for my Transferflow, might as well get one for the main tank. Would be great to get them keyed alike.

I don't think fuel tankers are ever left unattended. Haz-mat plus most I see are day cabs. But It's just a matter of time...

 

Isn't there an anti siphon ball in the neck on our trucks?

 

Those locking caps will not keep a thief out. My dad had them in the 70's and they are very easy to pick. I don't mean to rain on anyones parade but I wouldn't spend the money on one.

 

Maybe they do. I remember trying to siphon gas from my wifes old acura when she traded it and gave up.

 

yeah i was looking at one at a gas station yesterday.....


its gonna be like in MadMax!!
