didnt know where to put this but any one got any ideas on how to make and electic gas release for the fuel cover i was thinking about using somthing like this eBay Motors: Jaguar 1995 XJ6 Fuel Lid Release Actuator (item 190105881838 end time Dec-18-07 09:47:53 PST) .... just so i dont have the little flap on the gas lid and no one can steel my gas...

 

You can pick up a locking gas cap from College Hills Honda or your local autopart store for a lot cheaper then that.

IMO though, we have a 10 gallon tank, I doubt people will try to siphon it from your tank when they can get more from the SUV and truck you see on the roads all the time.

 

goog point... i was just really looking for a way to shave my gas lid so it did noit have the little lift lip ..

 

Oooh. Umm, not 100% positive, but maybe look at a wrecked 8thgen civic and see if you can do a direct swap. Theirs is opened by cable IIR.

 

Just get the setup from a non USDM. We get locking gas lid stock.

 

There's 10 feet of tubing between the gas cap and the gas tank... if they can manage to syphon anything out, they probably deserve to keep it...
I'de be more concerned about people putting something IN the tank.

 

good point... and the non usdm fit have a flat gas lid with a self lock lock ????

 

i'm more afraid of vandalism than people trying to steal my gasoline

 

i was actually using it for more of a clean cut look.. and the benefits where going to be a plus
