Locking Fuel Cap

Is it possible to get a locking Fuel Cap for my 09 Reg Focus. I don't like the idea that it doesn't come with any cap at all, as anyone can get a siphon pipe and take your fuel.

    Your car has the Ford Easy Fuel system. On this system it is not possible to get the fuel out of the tank with a siphon hose. The pipe between the filling cap and the tank contains a valve (which only can be openend with the correct size funnel / fuel nozzle) and an anti siphon device at the tank entrance. A siphon hose will never reach to the bottom of the tank.

    For the american market Ford offers an optional lockable fuel cap for the Ford Easy fuel system. Despite the Focus MK2.5 is not listed in the compatability chart (there was no Focus MK2/MK2.5 in the USA) the cap fits perfectly. The part number of the lockable fuel cap is 8U5Z-9C268-B. Despite this is not a European part number every Ford dealer should be able to order this part. Because it is an american part there may be additional shipping costs above the Retail price of 25 Dollars.
