CanalRetentive Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Is it possible to get a locking fuel cap for this? Threads on the tank are external, my first thought is no without changing it somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan de Enfield Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Yes, a simple bit of welding : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machpoint005 Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 My approach for the last 14 years has been to use a big wrench to tighten the cap. It's then impossible to get off without a similar tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mack Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 I have also seen that type of filler with a hole drilled horizontally through the cap and pipe and a long shackle padlock through the whole thing. But I would worry that might be a route for rainwater to get into the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrose Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Yes, why would you drill holes in your fuel cap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEngo Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Since I can only just get a 1/4 in square dipstick down the filler hole to the bottom of the tank, which is below water anyway, I figure that no one is going to siphon it out and pumping will be rather slow too.

Jen-in-Wellies Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Sent my method of locking a similar cap by PM to @CanalRetentive, rather than telling the whole world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Brooks Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Drill and tap one side of the cap and plain drill a corresponding hole in the pipe. Fit a domes security screw into the hole and rain can't get in. Totally DIY if you can drill and tap and no welding. Get a security screw with a pin in the middle plus two suitable bits (one as a spare). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
