rising fuel costs

OK

I know that this topic comes up every once and awhile, but with rising cost of fuel, has anyone come up with a decent method of locking/securing thier under seat gas tank fuel caps?

This morning is the second time my fuel has been siphoned off. At least this time I was quick on the diagnosis.

D..

 

My local NAPA says there is no such thing as a locking gas cap for early CJ5.

Been to my local "Things for Jeeps" source to pick up a spare gas cap to modify.

They have an original Jeep Part No. for a locking gas cap #931662 **Discontinued**. Have not been able to verify the number.

931622 is a typical Kaiser Jeep PN - I'd guess it's a repackaged Stant.

 

My Cj5 came with a locking cap when I bought it. I figured it was original, but not sure. The cap has a swivel key hole cover on it. It is different from most gas caps of how to use it. You have to use the key to put it back on - to lock it. Also, you cant take the key out of cap unless you put it in "lock". This confuses the gas station attendents here in Oregon since we cant pump our gas. I just end up doing it myself.

 

the part number is good/original number
been discontinued since about 1978/1979
once in a blue moon, you will see one on ebay
if brand new, $60 or more is not uncommon

 

Tell 'em you want a motorad cap. part# MGC-771 (that fits my Sixty) or part# 91 fits a '63.

Didn't know the filler necks were different, thought they were all the same from '55 to '71.
Learn something new every day.

http://www.motoradusa.com/catalog.html and click on the online catalog link and fill in year make and model. For '63, it wants universal instead of CJ5 or 6.

Or try CarQuest instead of NAPA or Checkers or Autozone. Or maybe O'Riellys (sp?)

Mine actually has the orginal locking gas cap.

 

Thanks everyone. I placed my order for a MGC #91 Motorad thru:

Will let you all know how well it fits.

I see them all the time on cjs at the junk yard. Somebody must make them.
A freind of mines boss kept having his snowmobile get siphoned so he filled it with turpentine. The next morning there was vomit all over the ground Thatll teach em

 

:twisted: Good!

 

OK the MotoRad MGC91 arrived yesterday and does not fit. Not even close. Way too small. Cross refence numbers with Stant and Napa won't apply either, from above.

Oh well....

 

I'll look into getting some through work if anyone is interested. Otherwise, if we can't, I'll atleast get the manufacturer's info and pass it along.
