Back in the olden days (50's-60's) I remember seeing a cone shaped spring like thing that you put in the filler neck. It allowed fuel to go in but you could not get a siphon hose in because of the shape. I think I saw it in the JC Whitney catalog.


>>>*Uhhh..."50-60's" is the olden days?...

Dang, now I feel really old....*LOL*..

*The sugar in the gas tank idea won't work because sugar falls out of suspension and won't mix with fuel...try that sometime, old wive's tale...

But the spring in the filler neck idea does work. My Dad used to drive the local School Bus to bring a few bucks in for the family in the 50's. Trouble is he had to park the bus 3/4 mile away because there was no road to our ranch yet.

People stole gas almost every night, stuff was expensive, $0.29/gallon. So Dad got one of those wire thingies for the filler neck, it worked. Not sure if they will today with the little unleaded inlets on all tanks.

One could go about 4" or so down the filler neck and install a crosswire in the pipe to stop the hose.

But there are lots of inexpensive alarm devices available that work, thieves hate noises. Or a little remote camara can be set up that downloads pictures to your hard drive.

Me? I just let my Pit Bull out, she handles things.....*EB

*Beats the he** outa me!....*LOL**...
