I wanted a cap for two reasons, one being the theft thing already mentioned and two because I take the truck on dirt/gravel roads and didn't like all the dirt/dust that accumulates on and in the filler area without a cap.

No problems or issues with mine this past winter. Supposedly it was the worst winter on record for our area.

It sure would have been a good idea for Ford to place some sort of hose blocker in the filler pipe so a siphon hose couldn't get into the tank. A locking cap may provoke some low life to puncture the tank instead. If we did like the Arab culture and cut the hand off of a thief, we wouldn't have this problem.

Thanks. Couple months ago I saw my gas door was open, scared that someone had stolen my gas, but when I turned on the truck the fuel was the same. It scared me a little at the time thinking someone had put sand or something in there, but I saw no residue of sand or anything near the gas cap so I guess they were either walking next to the truck and opened it out of being bored or were gonna steal some gas and didn't know how to get a hose in there or something. Guess I'll go to the local Ford dealership and see if they have any in stock. Would be nice if it came standard.

Is it possible to replace the cap less system with a cap system from a different model or aftermarket kit? I would like to be able to put fuel additives in the tank. Someone mentioned a bypass tube behind the seat. I haven't looked yet to find it but will later today.
