Locking gas cap

How do I know what size lockiing gas cap to buy?.. Are they all pretty much standard?... Did anyone decide to take the extra measure and buy one? I know it has to be a pain in the ass when you go to fuel up the car, But I heard horror stories of punks getting their jollies by taking a screw driver, poping the locking door open, unscrewing the cap and pouring salt/sugar in the tank...

Anyone got pics or some inside scoop on some quality locking gas caps?

Try this one. But do not know will the cap "clicks", if not the engine light will light.

I have a locking gas cap on my 99 TL. Unfortunatly I don't have the key to it(previous owner didn't cough it up... so I have a locking gas cap with no functionality. Go to an autozone or schmucks/kragen and they have plenty of them to choose from. You could then take yours off and into the store and compare them! Hope this helps
