Jayru 17 Report post Posted October 2, 2009 Hey Guys, Anyone know of a decent locking gas cap for our cars? I will be driving my car to NY a lot (if it ever runs again!), and i want to make sure people can't just unscrew my gas cap and siphon gas or put something down my tank. I've found only one "locking" gas cap. It's pretty lame looking: http://mustangsplus.com/xcart/search.php?mode=search&page=1 But i also found this: http://www.americanpony.com/store.mv?p=802342 There's no picture, so I'm not sure what it even is, but it seems to work with your factory cap from the inside? Anyone have this? Thanks! Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Len69Coupe 33 Report post Posted October 2, 2009 Hmm... I see the one you posted now. When I clicked on it the first time it took me to their search page. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, not sure why my link isn't working, but that's the one. I think it's lame with the speckled silver and just the Pony. Was hoping there was something better out there. Anyone make a stubby filler tube neck with a cap on it that allows you to fill from inside the trunk effectively eliminating the rear gas cap? That's an idea too.

Jayru 17 Report post Posted October 3, 2009 Aren't there reproduction "Pop Open" style, like the GT's or Shelby's, that have a regular locking cap inside? I saw the pop open ones do have a small cap inside, but I don't believe it locks. If you know of some place that sells them please let me know! That would be exactly what I'm looking for! And yea Lfugate, I think that must be what the other link is. I can't even begin to imagine how it works! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JTG 10 Report post Posted October 5, 2009 I was thinking about using this on my boat when the gas prices spiked two years ago, never got around to it though. It goes in your filler tube to stop someone from inserting a hose but allows gas to go in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jayru 17 Report post Posted November 19, 2009 Just ordered up the CJ pony Gas filler today http://www.cjponyparts.com/product.asp?pn=GC15 It seems the neck is a straight stub out in the back. I'll need a hose to go from the straight filler tube (and bend) down to the gas tank filler hole, anyone have any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69RestoRod 10 Report post Posted November 19, 2009 Radiator hoses can supply the correct size and bend. Mock something up or trace the bend on a piece of cardboard and go to the parts store. Most are friendly enough to let you wad through the hoses until you find the correct shape and size. I've done this with my radiator hose and my belt.

grendi 16 Report post Posted November 20, 2009 so are you goint to mount it eleanor style :scared: :surrender: :helpsmilie: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jayru 17 Report post Posted November 20, 2009 Haha! I'm not that ballzy, although it would be interesting to attempt on a coupe (i wonder how it would look on the top of the quarter just behind the window). My plan's to mount it where the factory one is now. I initially really just wanted a locking gas cap, but all available were really lame looking, so I'm buying this "race" unit and making it work (fingers crossed). Stangme - I'll be sure to take pics and do a write up of my install. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
