Locking gas cap in action
When I went to fill up yesterday I was trying to put my key into the gas cap and was having a hard time so I took a closer look and found a nice little gouge from something like a screw driver. Finally got it unlocked but now I sure am glad I got this locking gas cap as someone was obviously trying to get into it.

Drill it out I guess would be your only option. I was thinking of getting one myself but I just don't like the hassle of taking it off everytime, but I guess it would only take one time of someone stealing my gas and I would put one on...

why waste your money on that? if they want it they can just punch a hole in your tank and steal it that way. they wont even touch your gas cap-its more of a peace of mind to the buyer- thats what i think anyway.
Fortunately i have the luxury of keeping my truck in the garage and i work at my local police department so i dont think anyone is stupid enough to steal from the police in broad day light- but you never know i guess hehe.

If someone is going around stealing gas, when they open the gas door and can't get the cap off they are more then likely going to move on to the next car that is easy to access.
Why would they want to be bothered with breaking a cap off when they can just walk to another that has a normal gas cap.
Think about it as if you were a thief.

We lost the keys to the locking cap on our bronco. Took a screwdriver an beat it into the key hole an started ripping it apart. Between that an pulling pieces out with some needle nose pliers it eventually came off. Its easy, just time consuming.

is it really necessary to post on the internet on "how-to defeat locking gas caps". Maybe "how to break into and steal a ranger" should be the next thread?
Come 'on people, we all know there are ways..but is it necessary to go into detail?
I've considered one, all it takes is some dumbass punk to randomly dump something in your tank to really ruin a lot of components. I will get one when i move into an apartment and have to park as anyone else.

the guy asked if its tampered with and cant get it to unlock how? its no different then driving a screw driver into the lock of it also...
had to it on my buddy's car he bought it used the they didnt give him a key to the cap..
i dont find braking a locking gas cap the same as braking in and stealing a whole vehicle..
