Gas tank skid recommendations? Thieves have stolen gas from 15 toyota trucks in my neighborhood.

The gas tax REPEAL failed. Gas tax stays.

 

if thieves encounter spark and injured themselves. they will sue the owner of the vehicle just becuase its CA.

 

Lol! That would be hilarious.

 

There is a lot of desert out there to get rid of a body.

 

So @GHOST SHIP came up with a great idea. I am going to buy the RCI plate and just weld some side panels on it to cover a few inches vertically on all sides. Thanks for the recommendation @TacomaMike37

 

So we can't just strap a feral mongoose to the gas tank as a deterrent?

 

Honey badger would be better

 

Booby trap the tank like mad max had.

 

Just saw the latest update in the "banned" thread. I'm pretty sure that happened in here, didn't it?

 

I have tried and tried and I cant get a hose down into the gas tank... do you know of a way?

 

I haven't tried it on a Taco

Edit, so it's possible that as someone mentioned the filler neck is designed to prevent that on our trucks.

 

I could get a hose down into the tank of my first gen just fine but not my 07.

 

Yup lol

 

Just read that.....I was looking at old news apparently.

 

You can get a hose down a 2nd gen gas cap but only a very small one makings siphoning dismally slow.

 

It was also suggested that if people are messing with your truck. Put this on the gas tank side

 

Along the same lines as that, some high resolution security cameras, security lights, and so on. Thieves tend not to like security lights, because it draws attention to them for anybody who happens to be awake, and there is usually someone within eye shot who is awake.

 

I think it depends on the manufacturer. But its pretty simple. I believe its just a round ball that wont allow a hose into the tank.

 

Time to find a new place to live.
