Does anyone know if there is a locking gas filler plug for 2017 F-150? Had a locking Ford plug for my 2010 F-150. Does not fit 2017.

 

To my knowledge no, there is not.

 

Discussed over and over. No. Not available. Unless you have the special funnel provided by Ford, fluid dumped in goes straight out the drain at your feet.

 

Or any funnel with the same diameter as a gas pump nozzle.

I'm glad I don't live in the city where I would have to worry about something as retarded as a gas tank lock. I couldn't imagine anybody ever messing with another person's gas tank unless the gas tank owner did something really outrageous to deserve such treatment. In my mind it's just an obstacle I would be forced to deal with every single time I got fuel, as well as something that only has the possibility of going very wrong with no real benefit to counter the risk. But I guess some people are comforted by the thought of creating extra obstacles for themselves.

 

Actually, it’s not the funnel diameter. It’s the angle and length of the spout. The Ford funnel is fashioned to emulate the gas nozzle. I tried a long straight funnel with my 2016, and soaked my shoes with gas.

 

Just out of curiosity, what set of circumstances are you experiencing that require you to lock your gas cap? I have never known anyone to need such a thing.

 

You can buy a locking fuel door that bolts to the panel, but nothing I have seen for Ford's capless fueling system.

 

Yah. There are a couple of those out there. This is an example of one that can be fitted with a lock.

 

It is almost impossible to siphon fuel out of these. It is almost impossible to add fuel or anything else without the funnel.

If you seek to avoid fuel theft, you are spending money to guard against the unlikely, and risking, as another member put it, "....thousands of dollars in damage to save a few dollars worth of gas...".

If you seek to avoid vandalism, you are simply moving "sugar in the tank" to broken windows, slashed tires, or the old key on every panel trick.

Go buy some wheel locks, a threatening alarm sticker and six pack* and relax.

The preferred method for fuel theft these days is to poke a hole in the plastic fuel tank. They fill a 5 gallon can and let the rest run out on the ground. No one siphons anymore.

 

OMG, NO! Quick! Who makes a kit that puts a 1/2” steel shield around the tank? I’m thinking chromium? Maybe two layers.

 

My bad! My house, garage, truck doors, truck tailgate all came equipped with locks. Also the truck hood release is inside the cab. Why would I ever need to secure the fuel tank. Thanks for the constructive replies from adult members.
