    Suggestions Needed Immediately! Thanks in advance...

Anyone experienced with...

    Anyone using LOCKING fuel caps on GW's???

    0541 is the Perko model number for the fuel fill tube that GW uses. The lockable inserts are MFG from Perko also and come in a few sizes that fit different fuel fill tubes Just make sure you purchase the one that fits the Perko 0541 fuel fill.

    Anyone using LOCKING fuel caps on GW's???

    I purchased the last one my local West Marine had in stock and they said they have none showing in regional warehouse and are back ordered from MFG. Having $300- $600 worth of gas sitting in your tank is worth the $29 lock.
