Fuel Filler CAP>>> NO LOCK!!

[windancer4x4]

With the fuel filler cap having no lock I wonder how you guys see it...any one for the heck of being childish could tamper with a big investmet and ruin a lovely Sequoia..

>>>Don't you think Toyota should consider a lock with inside control or may be one with a lock that only opens with a key!!

thanks for reading

I put on a stant locking gas cap. Part number 10504. It's listed for a 2007-2008 Tundra but works fine

The door isn't controlled from the inside? That's really lame...they've been doing that since, like, forever.

1st gen Sequoia came with a lock I believe.

No lock = cost cutting

I heard there was an antisiphon device in the filler tube. Is that true?

You can always buy an aftermarket locking cap if you are concerned.

Just an FYI that the Stant gas cap is at Wal-Mart for $12.50. Purchased last night and it seems ok so far.

I should add the part number I got is 11501. It says for "Emission Control Type" so I thought I'd give it a try.

Dudes, scratch the 11501. My check engine light came on this morning.
Guess it goes back to Wal-Mart....

Guys, since I tried that other gas cap my check engine light is still on. I have the original back on now for about 3 days. Will the light go off by itself or does it require intervention?

Thanks.

Pull your negative off the battery for like 20 minutes to reset your systems. If that doesnt work then you may need an intervention

When I had my 1999 4Runner... I removed the EFI fuse, wait for 5 minutes or so... put it back... everything reset! I used to remove the negative cable, but remove the EFI fuse is way easy.

I'd better check to see if my Tundra has the EFI fuse.

Are saying just to pull the fuse? Ignition key should remain off?
The manual says there is like 3 fuses for EFI so I guess I'll pull all off em.


Thanks.

Just another FYI here. The check engine light went off by itself the other day. I have since purchased the proper locking cap and the light has not come back on. Moral of the the story is.......
