How does one lock the gas lid on the 2014 Ford focus?
This is a serious flaw, and leaves my vehicle vulnerable to gas tampering. Is there anything I can do to lock it?
I didn’t spend 15,000 to have my vehicle wrecked. This vehicle has all the security features, but they sure went cheap when it came to the fuel lid!!!
You can get a Fuel Locking Plug like this one“.
Be sure to get one that works with your model of Ford though.
How can I get something to lock my gas tank so no noe can steal my gas?
So is it the evap cannisters or the fuel line? I really don’t have time to drop my classes to fix my car again or replace it due to vandalism for the fourth time bc I won’t give someone the time of day.
Thank you so much. My sister is the one who puts gas……I had no clue….thank you
Ford Fusion I just rented had a button on the driver side door to open the fuel cover. Cant open it without pushing the button.
