Hi - having lived through the 1973 oil embargo, I believe it's now necessary
to get a locking gas cap for my 1997 - 2.3 liter, Ford Ranger.
I've seen some locking gas caps for later-model Rangers.
Does anyone know if such a locking gas cap is available that will "play
nice" with the check-engine light?
Thanks
Joe

Too bad you told David not to bother- he may have come up with this:

And this is a direct link to a locking gas cap? I think not.
Thanks for taking the time to post.

IF there is a locking gas cap for the application, it has to play nice with
the Check light. There might be a cap that fits -- plugs the hole -- but is
not intgended for the application, and that cap is not likely to play nice.

You should try it. And bookmark it. you have to do a few key strokes, but
there is a Fuel Cap entry under the '97 Ford Ranger. >> Stay informed about: Ranger locking gas cap - available??? |

I saw that Jeff. Unless I am missing something in the description of the
locking fuel caps, I am not sure these locking fuel caps meet Ford specs.

Of course they do.
It only costs $15 to find out, and if some moron steals you gas (highly
unlikely by the way if they choose to do it by siphoning through the filler
hole) they will swallow almost that much gas getting the siphon going.
The modus operandi of gas theives is to drill a hole in the gas tank and
catch the contents as it falls out. Sucking gas from the filler hole is next
to impossible anymore. >> Stay informed about: Ranger locking gas cap - available??? |

Hand pump siphons are readily available. That said, the additional info you
posted got me to searching about siphoning gas. Looks like it is indeed
next to impossible now.
As for sucking the gas from the filler hole, that reminds me of a newspaper
article from the mid-seventies. A guy parked his RV on the street. When he
came out the next day, he found a siphon in the "gas filler tube" and vomit
on the sidewalk. Seems the would-be gas thief inserted the siphon into the
waste storage tank.
