That is a pretty fantastic looking lockout! Need to sit down and see how much time and cost was involved. As cool as that looks - you might be able to sell them to those of us who don't have time and tools required to do that job. There are locking fuel caps on this site for about $85 and I also saw where somebody else posted LMTV locking caps available for less. I searched "locking fuel caps" with our search engine.I decided it was time to secure my fuel tank against unauthorized opening. I bored a close-fitting hole in some 3/16" steel plate to fit over the neck of my fuel tank. The rest of the project was made from 1/2" x 1" and 1/8" x 2" steel. No drilling or welding on the fuel tank was necessary to attach it. I engraved it to add a professional touch to it.
Only drawback to a locking cap is that the criminal element could care less what it costs you to fix what they break. Popular thing for dealing with locked fuel caps is an ice pick or a drill. They get the fuel they want, then let the rest of it pour out on the ground. I have words for that kind of people - but posting that here is against the rules.
