Anyone have a locking gas cap for their CRD liberty? |

Locking is easy to get from the dealer or elsewhere, but they are black and don't have provision for the tether. |

No....I would love some Dip Sh*t to siphon diesel out of my oil burner and put it in their gasser!!!! It happened to my cousin once as a theft from his bulk tank. It didn't take too long for the sheriff to find them, just follow the smoke. |

I've always been more worried about something being put in for vandalism purposes. |

I went to the dealer they said there wasn't a part # for diesel cap and it may have a different pressure than gas. |

Been running a locking cap from AutoZone since we've bought our's new 21,000 miles ago with no problem. Just tell them you need a locking cap for the 3.7 liter motor. |

But then you gotta paint it green yourself. |

Hmmm makes me wonder if the E-spec one has a locking cap or a locking cover like on a E28 BMW. |

I have used the Mopar locking cap for the gas Liberty, and drilled a hole for the teather. Works fine! |

The mopar cap is great until the lock freezes up. I had a couple of hard times getting it off. So I went back to the green cap. Maybe it just needs some wd-40 but still why cant American car makes but a locking door on like (umm let me see) My 20 plus year old benz?????? |

Nothing pisses me off more than the darn fuel doors you have to pull the release to open. I guess for some folks who live in high crime areas, they are a good deterrent, but any 10 year old with a popsicle stick could get it off. Same goes with locking fuel caps. Give me a crow bar and I'll have that sucker off. Locks keep honest people honest...other than that, they just frustrate their owners. LOL! |

For that matter you can simply buy the lock key set form napa.....keeps honest people honest. Now there is something to be said to deterring crime, make yourself a less promising target and the person is more likely to move on. |

Yeah...something tells me you got your revenge. Heck, I'd be more than happy to pay for a tank of fuel just knowing that some dishonest schmuck just ruined their engine. LOL!! |
