To Protect from fuel being stolen...

A locking gas cap may be just for you! :gr_grin:

My old gas cap broke so it was time for a new one...

That'll stop those hosers! :waytogo:

The new Gas Cap from Mopar looks just like the one I got from NAPA a few years ago.

#1 cause of EVAP codes.


Can't tell you how many I have had to swap back over to regular OEM gas caps over the years due to being complete junk.

All Jeeps here in SA come out standard with locking gas caps, SKIS anti theft etc.
One of the reasons I still am in possession of my 2002 Export CRD.:icon_lol:

Gotta have it. Sneaks are sneaky and hard to catch. Years ago living in Anchorage I noticed I was spending twice as much on gas a month to run my CJ-7. Started waking and looking at the little noises and caught a guy with the quietest car. He left me a free hose when I cocked the .357. Bought a locking cap which froze/broke one cold night. Had to go home and bust it off and buy a new one. Sneaks are parasites.

Remember that the KJ has a "rollover valve" which makes it impossible to siphon gas from the filler neck.Most just drill a hole in the plastic tank and let it drain out.


Replaced many gas tanks in work vans left outside of there stores over night.

Once I had the key hole frozen inside & could not get the key in to remove it.
I used a butane torch to heat the key and then finally got it into the lock.
Then lock de-icer was used, and got the cap off.
With my new gas cap I used ATF+4 into lock, that helps not to have it freeze up!

I had that happen once and when I finally got the cap off I never used it again. I still have it in the original box. It's a Mopar one too. (can't be bothered with the drama.....LOL)

True, we had a few cases of that in our small town a couple years ago. Much cheaper to let them take the gas.

I better not catch anyone F'n around with my rig...

I like to keep an eye on My Jeep! :gr_grin:

Several years ago a guy traded a car into me with a locking gas cap on it, he swore he lost the key a day before he traded it to me. :emotions34::icon_lol:But only vehicle out of over 120 plus that ever had a locking cap. Pain in the kister, to remove
Of course mine always live in a garage at night and never been bothered

Hang on here..how many Jeep's remain in the driveway overnight?
How did you remove the locking cap Tom?

Mine does. Doesn't fit in the garage

I have a locking gas cap on my jeep. have not gotten any codes. I did replace the rubber gasket from my old one to the new one.

Years ago I had a housemate who kept losing his keys. After the third time of having to punch his locking gas cap out he stuffed a rag in the fill spout, then drove around like that for three weeks because he was too trifling to go buy a replacement. I pointed out that his car was now a big rolling Molotov cocktail.
