You could say the same thing about locking the front door of your home...

You could say the same thing about locking the front door of your home...

especially now since it is virtually impossible to siphon fuel out of the current designed fuel lines and tanks.
this whole town was out of fuel a couple times last rainy season and i was trying to siphon out of the h3 and put some fuel in my wife's car. i ended up having to use a really small tube like 1/4" and it took forever.

Remember a locking fuel door ALSO keeps out things you don't want in your gas tank,

Agreed, keeping things out is the goal. $60 worth of stolen gas is petty cash. And covering that cheezy black plastic filler area is a plus too.

:iagree: The stupid plastic gas cap they have on there looks ghey. The aftermarket fuel doors look much better.

I do like the way it looks :beerchug:

We paid how much for a vehicle and they can't even afford to put a door over the gas cap!?! :mad:

On the other hand, I do like having many easily installed options for the fuel door. :excited:
