I put a locking fuel cap on mine just outa caution.
I old enough to remember the ol sugar in the gas tank crap. If you really wanted to be malicious you would put valve grinding compound in there.

pointless concidering mythbusters along with several other myth debunking parties have busted the sugar idea and most any substance that is not in liquid form. the prefilter on the pump prevents most debris from entering the fuel system, it pretty much just remains in the tank

I have not seen the myth busters episode you speak of, but I find it hard to believe that sugar will not wreck the fuel system.

Kids are not smart enough to figure out the fuel door on these trucks. They would pop open the exterior door and get confused when they can't open the interior one.

I got bit by the nozzle with a gap at the tip....was distracted by um, well, the scenery.
Solution was to take an old tape measure and cutting two 15" long pieces and sliding them down the nozzle past the sticking point, then pulling nozzle out....think of a shoe horn.
now I have two pre-cut pieces of tape measure in the door pocket just in case the scenery distracts me!
