everyone knows with the high gas prices and people going crazy over them...some may decide to rob others to get gas and sell it on the black market and avoid the prices. i know i park my camaro outside all the time im going to keep an eye out or maybe invest in a cap that locks...

...or a knife under my car like mad max did in road warrior :-P

...but keep an eye out

just giving everyone a heads up

[r0nin89]

Ya theres been an increase in locking gas cap sales where I work since this has started. I threw one on mine...

[BonzoHansen]

I keep meaning to get one for my truck.

wouldnt be suprised...the mall is a very populated area and alot of vehicle thefts occur there. a syphen pump is like 10 bucks at home depot

[r0nin89]

Yep. You can rig one up cheap too. Or do it the old fashoned way and collapse a lung like my stupid friend.

[sweetbmxrider]

you can get a hose with a check valve ball bearing style thing. whack it a few times and itl do the trick!

My friends dad got his F-150 full gas tank syfoned <spelling, in washington twp in glouster county a few weeks ago.

My friend's dad got his F-150's gas tank, which was full, syphoned in washington twp in gloucester county a few weeks ago.


you failed the spelling and punctuation mods. :mrgreen:

the same thing happened back in the '70s. locking gas caps became the norm, rather than the exception.

you must do a lot of whacking.

locking gas caps can easily be popped off with a flathead. Then just unscrew the lower part and its off.

Had to do it on a pickup here at work cause someone lost the key to it.

I do, mainly because I don't like to heat up my fuel pump any more than need-be and my engine nor myself are a big fan of the water that will accumulate due to condensation from all that open area in the tank.

Yep. I never go below a quarter tank for that reason.

[ar0ck]

I hope they siphon it the old fashion way by sucking it through a tube and they swallow a lot of it.

i just use a shop vac with an extension

thats great!

[firehawk1120]

forget the going through the gas cap I heard people are just puncturing a hole in the gas tank and draining it out the bottom

[Slo86Bird]

smart people! till they use a screwdriver and make sparks, dumbasses!

[jims69camaro]

Yep. I never go below a quarter tank for that reason.

not to mention all of the sediment hanging out at the bottom of the tank. i've been down closer to E than i've wanted to, but i just keep an eye on the filter. anyway, the tank in mine is full, but only because i had to add some things to it :twisted: in order to get my car to act right :mrgreen: and to make sure it'll take sitting for a while.

[Slo86Bird]

mines on E for the 3rd time this weekend. i put 30 in and thats gone in 2 days and then i was on E so i put 10 in and im on E again...

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Yep. I never go below a quarter tank for that reason.

Same here, I rarely go below that in the Explorer, but it gets filled up every week so on rare occasions I do. The Camaro, on the other hand, never goes below half, and rarely below 3/4 :mrgreen:

[Tru2Chevy]

I can't even remember the last time I went to a gas station and didn't fill up. It's been a few years at least.

I can't remember the last time I said to fill it
I can tell you this though, it wasn't on my dime :mrgreen:

Mine aren't either :lol: I always fill up though, I realized I didn't clarify before.
