Locking gas cap?

[hand amputation]

I am looking for a locking gas cap for my 2013 Sonic. I know that the stock gas cap must be 'clicked' once or I will get a 'Check Engine' icon on my dash.

Is there a good option for a locking gas cap? Amazon?

Thanks in advance!

RG 791 Locking Gas Fuel Tank Cap for GM Chevrolet | eBay

I think the thread pattern on any GM gas cap is the same...so perhaps any autoparts store has one right there....

Thanks for the link! I will look into this one.

I just want to make sure that my 'check engine' light wouldn't turn on after I install a new cap.

You can pick this up in any auto parts store. I used to sell a crap load of these when I worked at a parts store in a crappy part of town. I have to ask though, is stealing gas really a thing anymore, or do you have an ex mad at you?

Not an ex so much as Juggalo neighbors.

I never even thought of this till a few weeks back a fellow Sonic driver was checking out my ride and discussing the things fellow owners do when she mentioned having to bring her ride in for service because some DOUCHE decided the one thing her car was missing was SAND IN THE GAS TANK!! ~~~SERIOUSLY?? What kind of @$$ does that?? I've heard of donating a cup of sugar to those not on your friends list, but sand???? Just awful...

Sugar doesn't do anything, at least not short term. Bleach makes it run better, but sand will screw you up.


If I die, bury me in my truck, because it's never been in a hole it can't get out of!

So glad I found this... I had someone steal gas out of my pickup truck while it was in my driveway a couple weeks ago. But then again, size matters, so hopefully they won't think about targeting the Sonic.

What year was your pickup because I am pretty sure you cannot siphon gas on anything past like 2002 or something without dropping the tank or disconnecting the filler neck, same goes for the Sonic. They have one way valves to stop gas from leaking in a rollover or such.

Nah, it's still possible. The dealer I worked for in 2009 had a cool crank pump that we used when people put diesel in their h2. Happened a lot.

Also u can buy drill powered ones with small fuel line style hoses that work. They sell them at Home Depot.
