Hello- Looking to buy locking fuel caps for a '94 300 Sundancer, any suggenstions?
 
I was going to post this question last week as we were getting ready to leave on a 1 week vacation. Went to the boat in the morning to load it and found the cap hanging on it's chain. I immediately checked my gauge and sure enough, it was at 1/8th of a tank from full the evening before. That's nearly 60 gallons of fuel. We called the cops and he came and took the report and said he already had a suspect in mind. Apparently one of the derelict liveaboards in our harbor had a history. He uses a battery operated pump and small clear plastic tube. Couldn't prove it though but the guy was apparently questioned while we were gone. Haven't heard back. So a locking fuel cap is definitely in the works. Let me know if you find one.

PS: I hope he sucked up some of the gunk in the bottom of my tank along with the gas.

Too bad we can't valve the fuel tank right into the holding tank for guys like this!!
 
Yeah... I bought one for the home furnace fuel tank... boats next. A full tank is a few bucks these days... :huh:
