Fiesta st line eco sport 100 1.0

[RichardR21]

Hi guys,

 

recently bought a brand new fiesta st line 100 EcoBoost 1.0 and pick it up soon. I’ve been told about the east fuel system which they have.

When you lock the car, does the fuel tank cap lock as well?

if not, what if some vandals come along to try and syphen (not sure how to spell) or put foreign objects down into my fuel tank: as the fuel cap won’t lock!

is this not an extremely bad design if not?& also, if it’s the case of “no it doesn’t lock”, can you buy fuel cap locks for it. If so, what locks would I be looking at?

 

thank you

It doesnt lock no.  Which annoys me, wouldn't have taken much to add a latch to the flap

Exactly what I thought. Doesn’t seem hard to put a sealed and locked cap on. You’d have thought so anyway....

Or even better, make it automatically lock once your car is locked!!
