dee jay Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hi i am new to this forum so be gentle with me. I have recently purchased a ford focus zetec (Automatic) 2007 (57) 1.6. I need to purchase a lockable fuel cap but am unable to find one anywhere. I know that the fuel filler flap locks when the car locks but i would like a fuel cap that is lockable as well. Any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel S Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Given that the car provides a secure mechanism via the flap I can't see why anyone would make a locking cap. You may be searching for something that doesn't exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I Agree with Nigel, basically the issue is that these necks are not designed for lockable caps, there most likely wont be any grips for a secure catch to get in contact with, it is literally a screw in and unscrew mechanism. Take a look at your filler neck you will see there are no gaps on the side where a lockable catch would engage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel S Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Have you tried Halfords? They sell them, including the screw threaded type. They claim to fit 90% of car types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee jay Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 I went to Halfords a couple of months ago but they didnt have one. I shall go back and find out if they stock them. My petrol cap is a bayonet type not screw type. Your help is appreciated thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee jay Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 They dont appear to sell this type of fuel cap on their website. I shall go to Halfords today and let you know if they stock them or if they are able to point me in the right direction. As Nigel S replied earlier i may indeed be searching for something that doesnt exist. Once again thanks for all the replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
