Capless fuel system has optional locking cap
Customers with Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicles equipped with the Easy Fuel Capless Fuel-Filler System can opt for a locking cap for added security against fuel theft.
The locking cap was initially developed to meet regulatory requirements for some export markets that require a key-lock mechanism on vehicle fuel systems. The cap securely fits into the fuel filler neck of the opening and locks with a turn of the key.
The locking cap is an extra security measure since all gas-powered Ford, Lincoln and Mercury cars since 2000 and trucks since 2005 have a built-in anti-siphon deterrent – a simple check valve at the bottom of the filler pipe. This check valve allows gasoline in, but makes it near impossible for it to come back out.
Easy Fuel’s optional locking fuel filler cap can be purchased through www.fordaccessories.com or at a local Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealership.
