Just curious if anyone has found a sensible way to lock their fuel cap? I have an EcoDiesel so I am looking for a way to lock the entire door that opens to my Diesel and my DEF spout(?).

From what I understand you want a locking fuel door, you could install a cam lock in the fuel door. You will have to drill the fuel door and possibly cut a slot in fuel fill area. Not a big technical task but not for faint of heart drilling vehicle.

But even then, it's still just a plastic door...

Let them have the gas. Nothing you can do will prevent a thief with a crow bar from getting the fuel. The question is do you want to lose the fuel and add damage to the vehicle to the mix?

I went ahead and bought the Mopar one that can be keyed (by you following video directions online) and am super happy with it.
Having a diesel means you never really have to shut the motor down during a refill, so I'd buy a cheap extra key to operate.
Super high quality unit.

I finally found the original link, apparently the gas and diesel caps are different, verified by Mopar folks....https://www.allmoparparts.com/sku/82215418.html. So the one discussed above is not the right part, this link I show was the one the factory guys gave me.

Like I said that’s exactly the one I used (it’s in my order history) and it works perfectly on the diesel.
