When I built my rancher I changed my blueprints from a 2 car to a 4 car garage with 12 foot ceilings and 9 foot double doors. I still wish I had more garage space. I even poured a grade beam in the slab right down the center of all 4 bays for a 2 post lift to set on in the future. I’ve got way too many vehicles and toys to have them pile up outside. We never had a garage growing up as a kid but now I couldn’t cope without one. I was still single when I built it so I didn’t have anyone to persuade me otherwise.You folks with garages are lucky. In my 35+ years of driving and owning cars, I have never had a house with a garage.
I would love a garage with a lift. At this point in my life and the plans my wife and I have after retirement, that will never come to fruition.When I built my rancher I changed my blueprints from a 2 car to a 4 car garage with 12 foot ceilings and 9 foot double doors.

Yes they do. The locking mechanism pushes the flap in and reseals it with its own seal.Not sure if they make a locking gas cap for these gas cap-less fill necks?
I lived through the 70's when everyone had to have a locking gas cap or they had an empty tank come morning if they were parked outside. Since there were just so many key patterns made more resourceful thieves would buy a bunch of gas caps then go around the neighborhoods matching a key to the cap and just remove the cap.Not sure if they make a locking gas cap for these gas cap-less fill necks?

You cannot siphon fuel from the filler neck. There is a screen that would prevent a hose from reaching the tank. What the thieves do is drill a hole in the bottom of the tank and drain the fuel into a container.When I bought new my third generation 2015 Expedition, I bought a Motorcraft locking gas cap (called a plug), as I didn’t care for the capless design. It came with two metal keys.
I don’t know if Motorcraft makes a locking cap / plug for the 4th generation models.
If I remember correctly from the wiring diagrams, the Chinese market gets an electric locking fuel door.Not sure if they make a locking gas cap for these gas cap-less fill necks?
I actually turned one down that my cousin got rid of that was like new. I could’ve got a great deal on it but at the time I didn’t want to lose one of my garage door openers that have a rail that runs right down the middle of the double doors. I probably should’ve designed my garage with a double and two single doors so I could dedicate one bay for a lift. Maybe in the future when I retire I’ll make it work with a different style overhead door setup.I would love a garage with a lift.

I thought the same thing. Most modern cars have that screen or a backflow preventer (tip over) valve to prevent gas pouring out in a rollover.You cannot siphon fuel from the filler neck.
