Lockable Fuel Cap?

[Sharkster]

More problems: After doing some research on H2's lockable fuel caps, I found out that even the H2 uses at least three different versions of these caps. Looks like H2s up to 2002 used a different cap than 03 models and 04 models used a different cap again. Why the heck does GM do this?

For example: "Adventure Accessoires" (h2parts.com) has one lockable cap for 03 models (#DEF1012) and a cap for 04-current models (#DEF1009-2), but none for pre03 models. Both caps are being sold at the same price of 159 USD which is (on top of that) ridiculously expensive.

I guess I have to wait until I have the part number for the standard H3 lockable cap which now seems to come with the H3-chromed gas door.

Engineering fuel caps seems to be a real challenge over there at GM. It almost seems like they got dozens of scientists and engineers hidden in a secret GM-lab who think day and night about how to improve fuel caps.

About time someone with common sense walks in there and tells them that A SIMPLE LOCK would be an awesome addition to their genius and highly perfected fuel caps.

But hey... there should always be room for improvement of highly complex 50 cent plastic pieces.
