Don't think there is a cap, but they make a locking door for the h1

Gotcha, just curious. I don't take the keys out of my vehicles at night. I think we just live in different places.
Nice find! You think that would work on the m998?

I would think it does but I'd probably give them a call before dropping that kind of cash, just to make sure.

I have a locking gas cap on my H1 but i don't think it is compatible with a humvee. AFAIK the humvees have the fuel cap that you twist the t handle which helps seal the filler neck. from what i have read on the HML (humvee.net H1/Humvee forum) is the earlier H1s that had the same fuel cap needed to change out the filler neck. I do not personally know unfortunately.
Also the locking fuel cap/door isn't much of a guarantee when the fuel filler neck is so exposed in the fender well. not hard to cut it and gain access to drop something in the tank. But it's more of deterrence so you minimize the chance of someone messing with your truck.

The hummer and HMMWV Body are one in the same, as well as the plastic fuel filler neck area...no reason the Locking cover won't work.
Also, I seriously doubt someone is walking around with a sawzall to cut you fuel filler neck to get fuel from your hmmwv.

I think they are more worried about someone trying to put something in the tank than stealing fuel out of it.

I just looked at my neighbors 06 H1 and the HMMWV and I see absolutely no reason why it would not work.

25 yrs driving hummer and hmmwv's in the San Fran Bay Area...one of the most liberal areas in the union...never had an issue. But I rarely leave my trucks unattended in dark areas or areas I think would be a bad idea.
not to mention...unless you know the gas cap, no one knows how to get them off!
Thats not the same on a an H1 as it unscrews...here is bit of info...alway set the T-knob at a particular position, 12 and 6 O'clock...if it's anything other then that when you come back...don't start it. Chances are the moron will just tighten it back down, if at all....
yea but I'd forget to do that every time. Locking it with a key would be much easier

I thought the price was a bit much myself, but I'm the last person to tell someone you're spending too much on your HMMWV.
Best solution yet! Thanks! It doesn't bother me that it says well and it'll look great
