Your local NAPA should carry them too. When I was there to buy my check valve, the guy said he was surprised I wasn't in to buy a locking gas cap. Said he had already had 20 people buying one that day.

haha dont even bother, the chance of finding one here is slim to none. The day that gas went up, we had atleast 50 peopl come in looking for them and I think we had 1 in the whole country then. :lol:

do NOT buy an autozone locking cap, they are a 3 piece design that pulls apart very easly. I will be modding the cap (lol epoxying it) so it wont come apart so easly.

That's one thing I liked about my Bonneville. When you locked the doors, it locked the fuel door too.

:D

We don't have a need for two gas caps?

What do you need a locking gas cap for. You can't siphon gas from the tank because you can't get anything past that little check ball in the tank that the filler neck connects to. There's a one way ball valve or something in there that let's gas go in and nothing else. I think they put that in there in case of rollover in an accident and to prevent gas from spilling out. Man the part stores made a killing off of you all. :lol:

You can siphon from these cars, believe me.

 

Not only that, it's preventing people from putting shit IN your tank, not only taking it out. They're well worth the money if you live in a "bad" neighborhood. Man, the parts store is gonna make a killing off of you when you come in for new injectors, a new fuel pump, and fuel lines.:lol:
