Ford should sell those. i bought mine for my 2003 direct from Ford. this way i know i have the right one because of the pressure issues during e-tests.

 

CXheck with styling concepts they do not have the correct cap but they do have a replacement chome door that will work. The one problem with this door is that the factory gas cap can only be installed in the vertical position. I have one and find that this no hassle after a little while. The pricve of gas makes it worth while.

 

You can't siphon out new gas tanks anyway. Are you trying to protect from someone putting in water or something?

 

i put one on because i didn't want a certain idoit family member to throw anything into the tank. like they say you can pick your friends but not your family.

 

In the early 70's during the first 'oil crisis', a product was introduced to prevent syphoning. It was a conical coil spring that fit down into the filler neck. Then came the unleaded gas and tiny fuel openings to prevent people from putting regular gas into cars that required unleaded. Around that time the coil spring things lost popularity. Shortly after that the manufacturers incorporated similar designs at the manufacturing level and syphoning has not been readily feasable for about 25 years now. If you don't believe me, go get a syphon hose and try sucking gas out of a car or truck. I can't speak for other brands but I can tell you that I haven't been able to syphon gas out of my last 4 Ford trucks or my 84 Honda. I'd try with a full tank of gas and couldn't get enough out to fill the lawnmower.

Locking caps are to keep others out, not to keep the gas in. If you want to syphon gas or drain a tank, about the easiest way is to disconnect the fuel line at the filter.

 

I carry locking gas caps here, drop me an email here
