i think stealing fuel would be difficult because of the anti-syphoning device in the tube. the problem is sabotaging your fuel tank by putting other fluids.

you only need a plastic pipe and a smaller diameter rubber pipe to syphon the fuel from a mk7 or any other car with these anti syphon thingies on.. but also don't loose that plastic thing because they are £30 in my local dealer apparently..

really?are there any reports wherein fuel theft was successful even with this anti-syphon thing? ford is claiming that it is impossible to get fuel out unless of course the thief will puncture a hole in the fuel tank.

i think AT LEAST the gas lid cover should be locked for as another layer of security

I use my little exhaust tip to mix 2 stroke oil with my diesel. But unfortunately I left the original one on top of the pump at a motorway service station. But I was saved by my local Ford Dealer who got me 2. Priced at £5.05 each inc VAT.

I've checked that once the plastic funnel is in place I cannot get a plastic pipe in to syphon fuel out. Ford must have installed an anti-syphon device inside the filler pipe.
