I once thought about putting a tiger in my tank, but they're on the endangered species list :(

That's why I pay obscene amounts of money every month for insurance. ;) <br /><br />

The lady across the street from me has a pet tiger...I'd like to see someone steal her gas! :D <br /><br />I like the lapping compound idea...since it will still smell like good gas. :cool:

This guy probably doens't own much of a car anyway, probably would never know or care if it was you that contaminated the fuel leading to engine failure, probably can't afford to have it properly diagnosed. All that considering it seems the emotional satisfaction of revenge looses some of it's luster. Lock it up (the gas cap) and let him go.

And thus, can't afford a new engine or vehicle either. This means that after I destroy the theif's engine, he gets to walk. All the more satisfaction for me...<br /><br />I'm not going to spend $15 on a locking cap to protect $20 worth of gas, and have to give the key to the incompetent pump jockey every time I get gas. Besides, every good theif carries a hammer and a screwdriver...IE the universal key. ;)

Diesel fuel is hard to detect and really causes problems. 2-stroke oil mixture might help you locate the thief, easy to see that trail of smoke. The locking gas cap might save you a little trouble in the future if he decides to leave a little deposit in your gas tank.

I was a gas thief back in the 60's. I would take the siphon hose and 1 gallon can to my neighbors and get just one gallon.<br />I always got that gas in my mouth. :mad: <br />Got an attack of conscience and told the neighbor and paid her for the gas. All 35 cents worth. :D

I modeled it after the one used on Chevy trucks and stuck it over my fuel filler door with dual adhesive tape. My theory was that a diesel theif's gonna take it from heavy machinery or a tank on a farm rather than a pick-up and a gas theif would leave a diesel pick-up alone. If they DID steal it, well, they'd be in for a surprise. <br /><br />spots
Now that is a good idea!

Don't gas tank now a day have that thing in the pipe before the actual tank, kinda like a one way valve so you CAN'T siphon gas out of someone's tank? :rolleyes:

UPDATE:<br />I've been in commiefornia for a few days, and I came home to find my "special" gas can missing. 3 gallons of old gas, a gallon of diesel, half gallon of methanol, and lots of lapping compound. :D Now the hunt is on for broken down/smoke spewing cars in the area. ;)

Anxiously awaiting an update. Please post a photo of a car driving down the street pouring out billows of smoke. Ahhh, the justice!
