Syphon gas out of JK?
Anyone ever syphon gas out of their JK? A guy at the dealership was saying there are too many
twists and turns to get a garden hose down the neck. Just curious how hard it is to do.
I bought the the key lock locking gas cap but was debating on installing a fuel
door for better security. Any thoughts?

There is a federal-mandated device in there to prevent siphoning. Gas thieves now drill a hole in tank to drain gas. Still, locking cap is good idea to prevent that guy at the rest stop from having his kid pour water into your tank, then he comes to your rescue (for a price).

I had to drain a full tank for a friend, bad fuel pump and full tank of gas
