As there is no visible lock on the Puma fuel filler flap/tube. Does anyone know if there is any form of security, installed as standard, to stop someone siphoning off fuel??
Im asking this as its been occurring in the last week or so during the tanker driver/fuel fiasco.
(I've asked this question in another thread, but its off topic there and hidden pages in. Hence the separate new topic). Cheers,

Doesn’t it have a secondary flap inside the filler pipe that only the correct nozzle unlocks?
I’m guessing if someone copied or had a spare nozzle that they could adapt to siphon off fuel.

Some cars have a ball in the tube to the tank, if anything longer than the filler nozzle is shoved in the ball seals the tank stopping any fuel being removed, also stops fuel leaking if the car rolls over, not sure if the puma is like this.

The system is over a decade old now and is anti-syphon so no need for any other caps/security. Besides, as Mike says fuel thieves now just punch a hole in the tank and drain them that way.

You can’t simply add petrol without having a funnel to open the inner flap.
I guess it’s another Ford money saving exercise - or am I missing mine - somewhere hidden away?
Or is it not needed for petrol vehicles?

thing I have noticed is that, unlike my Focus, there is no funnel provided should you need to add fuel from a container. My Focus had one that sat neatly on the inside of the boot and I used it a few times to add STP diesel cleaner.

I’ll check when I get home. I know my handbook is in there but never saw a funnel. Maybe the wife’s shewee will fit

Mine was in with the wheel brace and pump in the boot compartment, maybe worth checking there?
