When gas prices went crazy a few years ago. It was pretty common news to hear of gas getting siphoned out of the tanks of parked cars. Now the kind of people who steal gas usually are not driving diesel vehicles. So it's not as common as gas cars.
I park inside a garage at night, So I've never had a problem. I kinda wonder why the trucks don't have an inside release like a lot of cars do.

That would be good to have an inside release.im not anticipateing haveing any problems.its really just a small price to pay for a little piece of mind.I dont pay for fuel,my company i work for does.I do however pay for any damage some *** might do if the warrenty doesnt cover the cause.besides the locking cover might even look nice.Just another mod.

Well in year 39 of owning vehicles I had someone steal gasoline out of my car in the driveway last year. Bought locking gas cap for the car but left the truck alone. Figure it was kids and they don't drive diesels.
Then I heard that sometimes when thiefs encounter a locking fuel cap they just drill a hole in the bottom of the typically plastic fuel tank

Like we all probably heard growing up; locks keep honest people honest.

the fuel door is only a flimsy piece of tin, locking it really won't slow down anyone who wants in. if they don't mind jerking the lock right out of the door, why would prying open a fuel door hurt the feelings.

My truck wont fit in the garage so it must sit in the back alley wich is not well lit.The fuel thief is not my concern the ****** that dumps stuff down my tanks is.

fuel theft ?
It may be because we live next to the forest AND have a good "Neighborhood Watch" system, but we have an effective theft deterrant. They are called "Colt", "Remington", and the brothers "Smith & Wesson". When they talk, everybody listens... OR get a small electric fence charger.
