Can you buy gas caps that lock with a key at Kmart, or Walmart. Looking for a cheap 1 thats why I mentioned them? Anyone have 1? Noticed my gas cap loose today, and it freaked me out thinking someone might have put something in my gas tank. Cars fine, but you never know. (It must have just come little loose from not putting it on properly.)

I don't know if you can get them at wal-marts and k-marts, but any pepboys, advance, or any other auto parts store has them. I'd be willing to bet most guys here use them... it's definately cheap insurance.Dave M

I'd be more concerned with someone taking stuff out of my tank. $3 per gallon tonite here, and I saw the pictures of almost $6 in Atlanta today!

yeah a agree with what EquatorHeat said you dont want anyone siphoning your gas, my car had a lockinig gas door so i never needed a cap but they are readily accessible to anyone and are pretty cheap to buy. It is definately a good choice to goo out and buy one.-Dan

Steve just bought a Fram and it's a sure locking one. The stant locks only half the time. There is a simple trick to remove the supposedly locked cap.

I bought 1 yesterday for $ 19.25 at Carquest autoparts. Ordered it, and it came in early next morning. He said good thing I ordered when I did because next day they were out of stock on them. Must be selling like crazy now because people are afraid of gas siphoning because of the expensive, and increasing price of gas. I was worried about someone putting something in my tank. lol I guess its good for at least 3 things I can think of now. 1 - gas siphoning, 2 - someone putting a foreign substance in the tank, and 3 - if someone steals your car when they run out of gas they will have to ditch the car, so they won't get away with it. Hmmm glad I bought 1 I guess.

You would want the stock one GM Part #22660006 because was designed to match the whole fuel system pressure of your car.
Cheap means problems like fuel smell fumes problems and spontaneous fire risks..
Take care
