Brutus has a locking cap. Not so much a locking cap as a cap that I can put a padlock on. It has a tab with hole in it that when tightened, alignes with anther piece on the filler tube. Could you somehow weld a tab like that on your current cap and a corresonding tab on the filler tube and simply make one?

Would it be a locking gas cap if it takes diesel?

My 'Bota don't use gas....
Well I have a couple of nephews that want to help me when I put in the yard, add trees, grade our 600ft lane, etc. Anyway, I do not want them to add straight gas to a diesel engine. An ounce prevention is a pound cure (?) Er something like that. Anyway, that's all I want it for. I almost did it with my fathers J.D. His fuel cans were almost identical, and boy did he get a rush when he saw me almost ready to tip that 'ol gasoline right in!!!
Thanks for your reply! Yes, I do NOT want my nephews adding gas to the diesel engine. I almost did it with my fathers J.D. and boy did he get excited. Luckily he saw me or I woulda just dumped it in......So yes, if you know of any after market locking diesel caps I would like to hear from you...And thanks for replying to my post......

winger; I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT. good idea. young folks can be dangerous to a tractor. why i remembe a case about 50 years ago when this young fella was helping his uncle on the farm, now this wippersnapper could drive a tractor but other than that he was dumb. so uncle says, boy fill her up with gas, so he did, but it did not take any , just overflowed imeadiatly, seems like the young boy did not know the gas cap from the radiator cap./w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif GUESS WHO THAT WAS?

Frank, a farmer neighbor told me a couple of years ago about a hired hand he had who did the same thing to one of his big John Deere tractors./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
