ronburgundy I love gooold member Donating Members 1,222 Member For: 16y 5m 16d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne (west) Posted 08/03/09 12:54 AM Share Posted 08/03/09 12:54 AM I thought (and do correct me if I'm wrong) the flap was linked to the car lock; if the car is locked the flap is too, if the car is unlocked then so is the flap. So presuming the car is only ever unlocked while you're in it, shouldn't be that big a deal?Of course I'm probably totally wrong! I just thought I remembered reading something like that in the manual.

I cannot believe that they would make a car that did not have a locking fuel flap, considering there is up to $100 sitting in the tank.It is like not having an imobiliser or locks on the doors.THINK FORD, JUST THINK ABOUT HOW DUMB IT IS !!!There is an anti syphoning spring or something in the filler pipe so a hose can't be inserted into the tank.

Its impossible to get a hose down to the fuel level. My only worry would be the old sugar issue Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/55190-black-g6e-t-petrol-cap/page/2/#findComment-839925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 4m 5d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 11/03/09 11:31 AM Share Posted 11/03/09 11:31 AM Apparently the people who make the caps are going to make a lockable cap for the FG's.I hope they can make them only be opended with the cars key as a 2nd key would be a PIA.
