TacomaGeneral discussion forum for the 2005 and later Toyota Tacoma.
This is a discussion thread titled "Gas Cap", within the Tacoma forum, part of the Truck Forums category.
As to gas theft -- we are supposed to have a grid (or screen or something) built into the filler tube to prevent siphoning...
We do. I have been buying a few extra gallons and putting them in Jerry Cans and filling up with them during the week. The hose always hits something in the filler neck (which I assume is the screen)

That's right, siphoning is not an option. However some of us wanted locking gas caps just so "junk" isn't poured down the tube by vandals.
Toyota dealerships do sell a locking gas cap for the Tacoma. That's where I bought mine. However it's not listed in the book for it for some reason. If the parts guys are knowledgable, they'll know which one it is. Identical to the one below and for the same price.

I have a Stant, part number given by Imjin. NO CEL has come on in the 3 years I've had it.
As to siphoning, thieves are just taking a cordless drill to the bottom of the tank and stealing the gas that way. Much quicker that way. One can only hope for a spark to toast those pricks.
