Fuel Door Lock

[scott shean]

For those who are considering changing to a locking gas cap, consider the
alternative of installing an inexpensive lock on the fuel access door. The
original owner of my coach installed locks on all the exterior doors,
including the front access covers and the fuel access door. This also
eliminates the magnet, which interferes with some gas station fuel nozzles.

It's not always what you want to keep in but also what you want to keep out.
Have you ever heard of gas being added to a fresh water tank or vice versa?
Or vandalism where sugar is introduced to the fuel tank? I agree that the
GMC would be a near impossible siphon opportunity; I wanted a deterrent to
the introduction of unwanted liquids or solids. That's why I have a locking
gas cap. And given the location of the fresh water fill, don't you just
know that somebody (uninformed) would start pumping fuel there if it weren't
locked?
