Fuel System Locks Help Prevent Theft Petroleum is more than ever "liquid gold." Like other valuables, fuel tanks should be kept under lockand key. Perko makes it easy to retrofit a locking mecha- nism in the majority ofvented and non-vented fills. The black plastic 0525 Fuel System Locking Insert comes with a high-strength zinc alloy lock cylinder. When slid into the fill, spring action retracts the cams, which then lock onto the hose bib once the device is fully inserted. A dual purpose key opens the protective metal fill cap and operates the lock. Installation is easy, usually with no tools. www.perko.com.
