Locking Diesel fuel filler cap?

[leight.mobi]

Does anyone know of a suitable replacement diesel fuel filler cap that is lockable?

Is theft that bad in the UK for diesel. But no I don't.

The body cover flap locks when the car is locked. Should be enough protection I would have thought.

No point nowadays, they just put a hole in your tank to get the fuel out, far easier

Really? That’s insane!

No, the flap is very flimsy, I have more concerns it will " fall off in my hands " rather than being a detergent.

You all seem shocked that thieves will put a hole in tank rather than having to carry a bit of hose round and get some in their mouth. Also most cars now have anti syphon things fitted.
Have any of you seen the pictures/videos of gangs in London with chainsaws that pull up to cars in traffic, jack them up and cut off the catalytic converters.
On a non motoring theft, I think it was Sheffield or Leeds where a gang ran in to the shopping centre, again with chainsaws to steal high value watches from the jewelers safe.
Best UK advice is if someone wants to rob you, just hand it over.
Lorry driver I know had his tank drained whilst he was asleep in vehicle in lay-by on a busy main road.

I can tell you live in the middle of nowhere, lucky you. Never move to a city. Live nr Liverpool and hate going there, the kids ride electric bikes in gangs down the main roads on 1 wheel and are very dangerous and intimidating.

I have read or seen reports of such things but, honestly, I thought it was media hysteria. It’s real?!

They all wear face covering and no helmet so police won't chase as they might get hurt if fall off their bikes. I have seen them a few times, going round roundabouts wrong way, on wrong side of road etc
There is 1 round us and he only ever seems to be on 1 wheel when in the village or on both when open road where he is doing about 40/50mph. Going green has been a huge benefit to the criminally minded

I think it was industrial sized angle grinders now you mention it, sorry, too early in the morning for me to be up and posting stuff

I think I would prefer losing £100 of fuel than having to replace a fuel tank because someone took a hole cutter to it.

A bit off topic... On holiday in Italy once, parked on a road overnight. In the morning the whole row of cars had their locks forced.
I had forgotten to lock mine.
Unlike everybody else, no damage to my car, no valuables in the car.

I know but I couldn’t help myself, sorry.

A lifetime of watching Leslie Nielsen films has taken its toll.
