Re: locking gas cap Wouldn't it be just as easy to cut your line by the motor.With or with out a locking gas cab. M y fill cap is so far up it would be a real problem to stick anything in my fill line.But your right people will try to steal your gas. So what I did last year was install a digital Camera for hunter's on a tree near by my boat.When the brake the beam they
get there picture taken. 'I caught a neighbor last year. DOwn at the beach. Was he surprised when I showed him the print out of him and his gas can in the act. Modles has them for around $70.00
Re: locking gas cap Auto parts store has a coiled wire that can be installed in the gas inlet that will block any siphon hose from being used.. You know the drill..

I've got a 2004 21' fishing barge. Sure hope somebody can help this could get expensive. Thanks  Re: Gas theft#2 Post by GregF » Tue Jun 14, 2011 10:13 am Where is the tank? They might just steal the whole thing, poke a hole in it or cut a hose to let the gas out. 1974 Harris Re: Gas theft#3 Post by GXPWeasel » Tue Jun 14, 2011 10:50 am Wow. I would like to see them try on our toon. It would take quite a bit of work, and for that work, they wouldn't get much as I usually keep her on the low side unless I know we will be using it a lot in the near future. Sucks you had that stolen though. Out about $100 then so far. too bad.

At present gas prices, that's over a $100! 2011 Bennington 2575RCW w/ ESP Re: Gas theft#5 Post by rrhodes » Tue Jun 14, 2011 1:23 pm Just put a sign on the toon near the cap and write. "Smile for the Camera" I am evil though, I actually disconnected the fuel hose on my last boat and put a fake line in hooked to a 5 gallon bucket hidden under the sun pad. I filled the bucket with 1 gallon of gas and topped it off with sugar water. They never stole gas from me again.

Re: Gas theft#7 Post by Rudebob » Tue Jun 14, 2011 5:44 pm I knew a guy that was having gas stolen at night from his vehicle. He trimmed razor blades and epoxied them to the gas cap. A few days later the parking lot was covered with blood and he never had gas stolen again. That was a while back. Today you would probably end up in jail and the thief would be the recipient of your boat and all other assets after a lawsuit. Still nice to dream, though.

heck it even against the law to tie a string to a shotgun trigger and the door knob...........what's the world coming to Re: Gas theft#9 Post by lakerunner696 » Tue Jun 14, 2011 8:38 pm My neighbors kids stole 3 5gallon cans from me year before. I didn't know who but had 3 suspects. I made them a new bait tank with 2 quarts water and 3 gallons gas. I knew they would be back. Well about 3 weeks later Betty looked out and yelled why did you leave your diesel can about by the wood line. I said I didn't, then thought to check bait can. BINGO the bastards took it. Well it was wait time for a broke down car in our area. I about gave up when a friend called and said she was at our mechanic in town and neighbor was there with daughters Dodge truck with a load of water. WOOOOO HOOOOO they had to replace some fuel lines and 4 injectors. I called neighbor and expressed my sorrow about the bad gas. He said the kids picked up and old mower can from his yard and used it. I said no, your Bastard grandsons stole it from me and next time I will shoot them. No more gas thefts around here Loyd, AKA Angry Ol Bastard & Betty Meeks God bless our country, God damn it's enemy's.

Re: Gas theft#11 Post by GregF » Tue Jun 14, 2011 11:01 pm That is one good thing about being in Florida. Your boat is your castle here and we do not have the obligation of retreat in our castle. That is not true in the North East 1974 Harris Ray Jr.Posts: 687Joined: Sun Jul 19, 2009 2:54 pmLocation: Warren NH Re: Gas theft#12 Post by Ray Jr. » Wed Jun 15, 2011 3:04 am
We are working on curing that problem here in NH AGAIN Freedom Lovin' gun crazy Redneck Re: Gas theft#13 Post by GregF » Wed Jun 15, 2011 8:18 am Florida has virtually removed that obligation of retreat law everywhere. We have a "stand your ground" law that says you have the right to defend yourself anywhere "you have a right to be". You still can't shoot someone in the back who is running away but if you confront a thief in your yard and he confronts you, drop him. 1974 Harris Ray Jr.Posts: 687Joined: Sun Jul 19, 2009 2:54 pmLocation: Warren NH Re: Gas theft#14 Post by Ray Jr. » Wed Jun 15, 2011 9:03 am Yea Greg that is what we had in NH for years untill a bunch of lib imports changed it a while back. if SB-88 passes we will have it again. it has passed the house by a huge veto-proof majority, now if it passes the senate and gov FLynch doesnt f it up we will be set. Freedom Lovin' gun crazy Redneck Re: Gas theft#15 Post by badmoonrising » Wed Jun 15, 2011 9:39 am Actually Maryland passed a castle doctrine law last year. I was surprised our liberal governor signed it. Still no right to carry though, so I have to carry my throw away That'll change in the new few years. One of our delegates is getting rejected CCW applicants together for a lawsuit against the state. Ed, Cheryl, Ethan and Aspen. Do locking gas caps work?Locking fuel caps are a great way to prevent fuel theft. While there are ways around it, they will prevent most opportunistic thieves, though it may not do anything to stop a dedicated thief. Someone who is willing to drill a hole in your gas tank is not going to be deterred by having to deal with a locking fuel cap.
Can you put regular gas in a pontoon boat?Most pontoons have a small outboard motor to propel them through the water. The larger the pontoon is, the more powerful this outboard motor. Usually, pontoon boats can be operated with the same unleaded fuel you use in your car.
How many gallons of gas can a pontoon hold?A pontoon boat gas tank generally ranges between 12 gallons and 35 gallons, although larger boats may be equipped with 50-gallon tanks, and smaller ones may have tanks as tiny as 6 gallons.
