[QUOTE="Chops , post: 603577, member: 59693"] Rich, I have a 2004, and all I know is I couldn't get a tube of any size down my filler neck more than about 18". That for the most part disuaded me from persuing a fuel door actuator mod. If I wanted to get real concerned about my gas integrity, a simple alarm pin switch mounted behind the fuel door plate, that closes upon opening the door- tying into my present car alarm, would be better insurance for me. And if I were as paranoid about the ST as I am my Harley, I would integrate an alarm pager into the mix, as I did with my bike. I guess the anti-siphon feature started with 2004 if your 2003 is not equipped, but I don't know. Rich I think you or someone mentioned a retrofit aluminum filler door at one time, but the cost to tool up was too high. That would be the ticket. [/QUOTE]
