Default Fuel tank security

No one here seems to be concerned about the fact that anyone can open the fuel tank without a key or being inside the car. I dont know about the rest of you but i think this is an open invitation to jealous folks playing tricks with your fuel.

The fuel cover door locks when the car is locked, so as long as you make a habit of locking the car, no worries.

You must have made some enemies out there if you're concerned with that.

As stated, it locks when you lock the car.

as a side note : this doesnt protect from someone pouring something into the tank but even without the door being locked and fuel cap off the port where the fuel goes in has a protection mechanism inside of it (I think its a spiral ring) that prevents someone from ciphoning fuel out of the tank. Only way you will get fuel out is to drive it out or puncture the tank
