Fuel leaks everywhere

They drilled two holes in my cheap plastic locking cap and when they still couldn’t unlock it, they went for the tank. Stupid thing is, they only drilled the tank half way up the side (as far as the Gen 1 tank armor went) and I was less than a quarter full!

In order to hopefully thwart that type of damage again, I will not put on a locking gas cap. I know, it won’t stop sugar bombers and stuff like that, but I think there’s a higher chance of getting drilled.

But maybe tanks won’t get drilled now because of the vastly superior fender covers Toyota is putting in around the wheel wells on our Gen 3’s, letting people access the fuel lines like what happened to OP. I guess a drilled tank would have cost double what it cost him to fix the fuel line.

I was able to fix my metal tank with a epoxy metal tank repair glue, but the Gen 3 tanks are plastic like everything else in the truck, and since it flexes so much, I’m not too sure about do it yourself repairs if it gets punctured. It will probably need replacement, even for a small drill hole.
