Prep Item: Lockable Gas Caps

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) Rollover/Back-Up Forum : One Thread

Last night, I purchased lockable gas caps. These were quite popular in the 70's and may be fashionable again in the naughts. I recommend going to a discount auto parts store. Wal-Mart did not have the right size for my vehicles. I got two caps for under $25 at Discount Auto Parts. A little more insurance...just in case.

Good Point, Batman. Was thinking the same thing when I filled all four cars last night. Cheap insurance

One thing to remember is that newer vehicles have a device that blocks a siphon hose in the gas filler neck. Could also be an issue if you need to move gas from one car to another (your own cars, of course!)
