Locking gas cap for 7.3L - interest?

[marine_wi]

Sounds like you need a beta tester for the 24 MY...

 

[BroncOh]

Appreciate the offers! Beta testing has wrapped up.

Wouldn't a locking fuel door be simpler, and avoid any EPA/CARB requirements?

I was replying to @DwnSth for the Tank Warden caps were available, as his truck is diesel.

Not yet for gas. Currently just diesel.

This is an honest question not meant to get anyone riled up but..... What is the actual need for a locking gas/fuel cap....other than an extra step at the pump.??
I've never understood the purpose.

To keep kids from adding crap to your fuel tank, or to deter theft of fuel.

For diesel a locking cap has several reasons.

1. Help prevent a pre occupied operator from inadvertently putting DEF in fuel.

2. Prevent a person for whatever reason vandalizing (jealousy, animosity, x wife/husband etc) by contaminating diesel with DEF, ultimately causing 15k in damage.

3. Last being theft.

4. One more possible scenario, you lend your truck to a friend, that friend as a gesture fills your truck up with gasoline, not realizing it's a diesel!

Who cares about an extra step? The diesel locking caps are there if you want them, made by 2 different manufacturers, both are quality products.

I'm seeing it as more of a stupidity guard base on what you listed ...which is fine if that's what people need...
Again I was honestly curious, not a product I see any use for myself

Do you own a diesel or 7.3 FX4?

 

[Bigred97]

Currently a 7.3 gas. But I've owned diesels most of my life, multiple 7.3s and two 6.7s

 

[Crimson23]

I am definitely interested.

 

[brewer90]

I’ll buy one

Following. I used to have them on my 1990 F250 Custom (single cab, extended bed, towing package with dual tanks)...The White Chariot as we called it was literally a "drifting queen"...way too much fun...but I digress...

Would love to have this in a black anodized metal if possible.

Not sure about your reaction to my reply, this thread is a about 7.3 gas caps after all.
We seem to have gotten onto diesels somehow...but either way opinion stays the same. And it's just that, MY opinion. If someone has the need for one of these then go for it. I was just trying to to understand the need
