No lock on gas tank door

[Ted Kramer]

I came out of work today and someone messed with the door even though my truck was locked. Never would have realized that the door doesn’t lock when the truck locks. And you can’t put on a locking inner cap. Has anyone solved this issue or had a similar situation.

The Navi fuel door locks, Expis don't.

There is some talk about it all here: https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/capless-gas-tank-logic.40634/

(It starts off about the lack of a cap and then gets into the locking door)

It does not lock on my ‘18 Reserve FWIW.

My mistake. Someone on that thread I linked to said theirs did, so I just assumed. And we know assuming makes an ass of you and Ming...whoever Ming is.

Thanks, @Artie!

Locking gas doors have always seemed like a hassle to me. My wife’s car has one and about every third time I fill up I forget and have to struggle to open the door before I remember and feel like an idiot.

What are they for, anyway? This is not the 70’s...who is stealing gas? Unleaded is less than $2; we’re swimming in the stuff.

These vehicles have some kind of anti-siphon thing in them anyway (not sure how or how well it works). Oh, and if you have a gas cap lock, the normal gas-stealing method in Alberta anyway is to drill a hole in your gas tank and drain it out... :-(

Thank fully it DOESN'T have that. I hate my wifes car with that feature. I'm always locked out of the stupid fuel door.

No need for a lock, IMO.

Open up the door and fill er up on my '17 Limited.
