[QUOTE="Chops , post: 603573, member: 59693"] OK Mr M, Convince me why I need it and I'll gladly build it....Like I said, it's easy, but I don't get it. If you're concerned about intrusion, lookie at my project that saddles the flashing icon key in your dash, it adds notice that there is an alarm system of some type installed. I have the same setup on my HD, and it keeps people away. I haven't heard of sugar or sand in twenty years in my orbit, but tire slashing does happen. What you gonna do 'bout that? And, siphons are a thing of the past. Siphons are too considerate, the going trend now is a cordless drill and a gas can, it works real well with our plastic gas tank. And last but not least, the gas lid is a flimsy piece of cheap plastic. Do you guys *really* think an electric lock on a flimsy piece of cheap plastic is going to keep someone intending to do your truck harm , from entry? The anti-siphon feature works. After the last hurricane of 2005 and we were without power for days, and all the gas stations were closed, I tried in vain to get gas out of my truck for my generators. Features I see useful I make, I guess the last one was the electric-auto locking feature on my advance cover----now that is useful. [/QUOTE]
