I like it...hopefully a self tapping metal screw won’t defeat it.

Can’t see a large number of people walking around with cordless screw guns and self- tappers just to throw sugar in a tank.
On the other side, the little lock on the door is just as easy to defeat.
In the end, it’s just deterrent for stupid people lol

The gloss black ami styling door blends nicely with the blue Jean metallic.
Edit: 1/30,the bem locking cap came today,
It is a 1/4 turn cap, then the lock screw acts to stop rotation to remove.
The plastic or poly propelene key fits flatter on a key ring than the all stainless key.
The locking screw is 5 turns from finger tight is required for removal.
There is no tether, the stock cap tether is a larger diameter, so it won't work. the bem cap is a little bigger than the fuel fill tube, and has a rubber seal.
Maybe a Nissan or Honda fuel cap holder would work.
It is a nice machined cap and a quality product. The fit and finish is very nice.
I believe the lock is more secure than the small cabinet lock on the fuel door.
I'm not a fan of plastic products.

I just found this old thread, does anybody know if BEM is still in business? The website appears to be down.

I kept researching and answered my own question. These are sold for rams mostly on GENO’S garage. I called them from their Facebook page and they answered the phone on a Sunday. They do have a locking diesel cap for 17 through 20 Fords. They did advise that they do not work for the 21 and 22s and I have no idea why.
