Locking gas cap for 215CC

[ssfatboy]

I tried purchasing a locking gas cap for my 215CC at West Marine. It did not fit. Does anyone know where I can find a locking gas cap????? With the way fuel prices are these days, I am afraid someone might empty my 70 gallon fuel tank.

We are wondering the same thing since my truck recently lost some gas overnight. A locking gas cap would be of great help

I don't know what kind of fuel fill Triumph puts on the 215's but this may be a solution to keeping someone from stealing your fuel.

Last year after Katrina I needed some gas to keep the generator going. I tried to siphon gas out of my boat knowing it had 70 gallons in it. I found it impossible. It was much easier to disconnect the hose off the engine, remove the valve add some hose and siphon it into a container. Might want to try siphoning it before you buy the gas cap.
