[MV] M-1009 Fuel Tank Cap

I am looking for a locking fuel tank cap for my M-1009. I've already toured
the auto parts shops and LMC truck has sent one that they promised would
work that is back in the mail to them as it was, like all that I've seen so
far, too small. Can anyone sell me one or direct me to a person, web site
or store that's close by that has a locking fuel tank cap that will fit my
M-1009?? I would appreciate any help that you can give!! I'm saddened to
say in today's world you MUST have a locking fuel tank cap or your fuel will
be in someone else's tank! Also someone that doesn't like military vehicles
can pour sugar or some other substance into your tank and wait to see what
happens. To cover these items I would prefer to just add a locking fuel
tank cap and be safer in the long run! Thanks in advance for the time and
bandwidth! Wait, I now need two! My Friend also has an M-1009 and wants
one for his. Someone please sell me two or send me to someone that can
really help!!!!

Best Regards,

Ed

The Stan company shows a cap that is supposed to fit your M1009 (1984
Blazer with the 6.2L Diesel engine).

Hi Ed,
I'm not sure, but arn't these the same fill pipes that are used on
the big rigs?
Maybe a truck stop has one that will fit.

The other thing I was thinking of was to get one of those locks that has
the long
shackle that comes all the way out so you have two pieces. The shackle
has notches
in it so that it is adjustable.

Figure out some way to slip this over the bar on top of the existing cap
so that it is
constrained on both sides of the fill pipe.

Another idea would be to drill a hole thru that top bar so that you
could stick a locking pin
thru that was secured to the truck somehow with a lock. Be sure to seal
under neath so that
fumes don't come out.

Anyway, something to think about.

Remember, that these fill pipes are not standard. They are part of the
Military
configuration. I believe that the fill caps on the standard Blazer are
much smaller
diameter. I haven't seen this but I've been told that the Military
version is much
larger so that they can accomodate the large fill hoses, refered to as
Donkey D.......s
or some such.

IMPAC may cary them since they cater to the Military and you can look it
up by NSN.

Disregard the last part of the previous post regarding IMPAC, since you
will just end up with the
same thing you already have, instead of a locking cap.

Thanks VERY much to Bruce and John both for the fast answers and help, it is
VERY much appreciated! I'll let you know what I find out and how the
problem is solved. In today's world if you don't have a locking fuel cap on
ALL of your vehicles you are simply asking for trouble. Thanks again!

Best Regards,

Ed
