Because the fuel flaps not locking on the ford transit connect what is there to stop anyone either taking out your ad blue or even putting something that is going to damage your engine in the ad blue tank ? Or do we just hope nobody has thought of that ! 

Admit it - with a name like that and a non existent profile, you're a OPW, right? RIGHT? 🤣

Now that's better, a full profile! Your question has been around for over 50 years, when folk use to worry about stuff being put in their petrol tank, hence a whole industry started up flogging locking fuel caps. If someone wanted to damage your car, pulling hard on a locked fuel door to gain access would hold no barrier to them...

Hey Steve buddy, many thanks for the response. If you hover over my profile, you'll see an option to 'ignore' (as below) Feel free to activate that function and you'll never have to hear from me ever again 👍

Ford haven't used locking fuel flaps since they introduced the "easyfuel" system which started back in around 2008 on some models.

Stealing of AdBlue would have to be an act of pure desperation when you can buy 10 litres for £12. You may as well worry about someone stealing your windscreen wipers which are worth more.

There are some locks especially designed for this.

A pair of genuine Ford wiper blades for a Transit £24.50 or approximately 20 litres of AdBlue 🤣

hi

just noticed the fuel door doesn't lock on my focus (2019) when the doors are locked

i'm sure it locked on my last car 🤔 doesn't mention it in the user manual so i'm assuming it's operating normally

i guess it means you cal still fill up if you've lost your keys 😅

Now surely you can nip over to California and pick it up, make a week of it and visit Disneyland 🤣

Just had to Google that, never knew there was a Disneyland on the West Coast.  Thought the only one in America was the one in Florida. 😮
