Where can I find a 3rd Gen locking fuel filler door?

I haven't been able to track one down, either a complete assembly or just the door with the correct hole for the cylinder. Any suggestions on where to look? Thanks!

 

not sure if you can buy a locking fuel door. you can buy locking gas caps though.

 

You could make one. If you are creative and bold enough.

I was concerned with the Tacoma not having a locking fuel door. Now that I do have the truck though, it’s not a huge concern. Maybe if you think someone might try to put some foreign substance in your vehicle, but in terms of fuel security, if a thief wants your fuel, they are better off having access via the cap then straight drilling a hole.

You want a

$21 Stant 10504 Stant Regular Locking Fuel Cap, black

Stant 10504 gas cap. You can find them at most O'Reilly's/NAPA/Pep Boys locations. They work on both the 2nd and 3rd gen without issue - some of the knockoffs will throw a warning light because of EVAP leaks.

There's no good way to lock the fuel door on a third gen. Just go with the locking cap.

 

If you live in Montana, a locking gas cap sounds like a terrible idea. -25 degrees and fumbling to unlock a frozen gas cap.

Plus can’t they be ripped off easily?

I guess it’s cheap security, but it really ain’t fooling much.

 

Yep, I had the locking fuel door on my T100 freeze up when low on gas and well freezing. The fuel door got pryed open and later removed the lock altogether.
