Is this something you have tested and verified, or just assuming?

Yes, i bought it two weeks ago and it works great the company that makes it is veteran owned and made in usa ! Bottom of tear drop hooks onto outside filler lip and the locking end tbe other side . And it hasnt caused any codes.

If the perps are going to steal my gas I would rather them take it out of the filler neck than do this.

these days, they do this even if you don’t have a locked cap. thieves are, by definition, lazy. otherwise they’d have a job.

it’s just faster, easier and more covert to attack the tank than to siphon.

For me it's more about people putting stuff in the tank, which I've had happen. Mischief makers and other such people. I'd like something that reduces that possibility, but is easy to remove for fuel fill.

Modern plastic gas tanks are easy to puncture and drain.

That’s interesting.. there’s only one type of fuel door available according to the parts catalog and I’ve never seen a locking fuel door on any bronco

I haven't seen one on any Ford in the last 20 years. Are there any?
