Locking Fuel Cap - xz3kg7 - 05-30-2008 10:56 Does anyone lock their fuel tank? I just started parking my coach someplace besides my house and with $1000 worth of fuel in the tank I want to lock it. My fuel cap (the big brass Bluebird one) has a lock on it, but I can't tell how it is supposed to work. It has a half-moon piece on the back that turns... but there is nothing for it to grab. Not to mention, the piece turns a half turn, but to get the key out, you have to turn it back. How does yours work? (Also, if there is another post on this, I could not find it.) Thanks, Alan 87FC35 Locking Fuel Cap - Scott Forman - 05-30-2008 11:25 The access door to my filler cap requires a key to open. My FC was like this, too...I thought all 'Birds were. Is yours not?

My fuel door has a lock on it. Thieves will take the plate fuel up and drive off and you get the call. Leroy Eckert 1990 Wb-40 Smoke N Mirrors Dahlonega, GA Royale Conversion xz3kg7
Locking Fuel Cap - pattypape - 05-30-2008 14:21 Try Here http://www.velvac.com/ http://www.barjan.com Click on maintenance and repair, then Diesel Fuel Caps I had to really search to find a locking cap. Depends on the pipe and thread size. BiLL 88 FC Michigan --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "xz3kg7" wrote: > > Does anyone lock their fuel tank?

(Like some cars used to have). There is no way to lock it (plus it would be very weak.) Then behind it is just the filler tube with the fuel cap that has a lock on it...but doesn't seem to have any way of actually locking against something. The brass filler cap is imprinted "Bluebird", so I thought it was original. |
