Question Locking gas cap?

OK this should have been easy. I have searched the net and every “normal” auto store I can think of…………………..I am looking of a locking gas cap for a 03 Exc, with diesel. This has to be easier than it is! There is allot of info on the net…….and then the dreaded words, “will not work for diesel.

any help out there

Tim

locking gas cap

I also bought mine at AutoZone for $10 bucks. If AutoZone tells you it is unavailable, have them look up a 2000 or 2001. They will also work!!!

I'm surprised the X doesn't have any type of fuel tank security. I figured the fuel filler door locked with the doors, but as I discovered tonight when I filled it up, it doesn't. We're a one auto parts store town, so I'm at the mercy of the 18-year-old behind the computer at our local NAPA. Wish me luck.

The Landy is a 1972 Series III 5-door Station Wagon. I found it in England this spring and had it shipped back. I'm heading over again in December to look for another one, probably a short wheelbase, though. One of the original SUVs, the Landy is the exact opposite of the X. 85 hp from the straight 6, top speed of 65, 0-60 in the same day . . . if there's no head wind, loud, rides pretty rough, leaks oil, no power anything etc. . . But I LOVE it. It does have one thing in common with the X, though: Door locks that don't work. It'll pull a house off its foundation in 4-low.

DOOH again - if I had read the caption on your pic :-)

If I recall - (30 yrs again !!!)...
Mine was a series one circa 1948 or 49....
the roughest riding old piece of green metal you've EVER seen...
but this was in the early 70's in Iran and I wanted something with a little SIZE and that would get me there and get me back ...
I figured it had been going for 25 years, what's a few more !

I recall having 10 people in the old thing going up to the Caspian sea for a weekend - whew - good memories in that old truck !

Thank goodness mine had the steering wheel on the left !
