Has anyone found a locking fuel cap for a Caddy?
If not, anyone figure out a way to lock the door?

EDIT:
Seems AutohausAZ sells the locker for Diesel same as the Audi part linked above.

my findings back in 94..... stant made one... was nla then...
jewlery store type of lock for case.... put hole in door.. cut slot in opening by door for tab to lock into...
no go look at locks for what i mean.. will not spoon feed the thought... but simple if you go look at locks like such..

Jetta cap won't fit caddy. Jetta screw in. Caddy 2 prong bayonet 1/4 turn. I'll make a deadbolt for door with a choke cable unlock.
-
How about a simple cabinet lock that you install on the door? Or do you want it to be inside cab operated?
-
I prefer a no key (to lose) solution.
-
look at b3/b4 gas door.... rig it... if it screws you know where to pull rod... else honda....
-
Might try Stant again...bought on from them about 5 years ago so may be they go in and out of nla
-
Have you had someone steal your fuel?
-
IIRC, the vanagon is a 1/4 turn cap...

Can you post your locking Stant p/n? The p/n's I found was unclear whether it's locking or not and with no pics.

No, but with a lock, no one can else can take from it or add to it.

So is a MK 1 Jetta locking cap, which has the same bayonet 1/4 turn twist but did not fit the caddy because the o.d. was too big.

My 83 gti gasser cap fits onto my 82 diesel truck?
But niether has a lock so no clue if that makes a difference.
-
ahhhh they make 3 mk1 caps... a screw style... a german one, caddy/jetta and a westy one...
so will mk1 jetta fit a caddy... id say no and you probally wanna seek a westy one... just cause caddy was westy desgn...
why german and westy differ.. the teeth are for different diameter holes... the flange are different shape/inner id.. till you hae 2 side y side ou do not see this.. but caps either do no tfit or fall off if you get it wrong...
back in 94 no intewebz.. im sure between then and now some mising crate has been found.. and thats how some made it to market.. trust me it was a still existant number then.. but submitting a order monthly for almost 2 years with no fufilled.. i quit.. a truck of 100 would fill supply/demand for locking gas cap for caddy in usa for years... so yes.. you may find a few dusty ones... you kno was well as i do.. crap lik ethat went missing in those times...
-
Locking door sounds better at this point. :-\
-
;D
ok 1 more... LOL... which one fits the valve cover?? 1 of the 3 do... :P so if you lost your oil cap.. no prob borrow fuel cap... i bout pissed myself when i saw a guy who pulled it off...
-
Sorry, can't find the receipt for the Stant...burned a bunch of them last year...didn't want the wife to start adding them up
;)
At first i tried Autozone:
http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/1980-Volkswagen-Rabbit-Pickup/Fuel-Cap/_/N-jf7zpZ8vd0x
But it was a little big...would have fitted if i moved the doors hinges a bit.
Same cap is on ebay too.
