Locking caps for the old Mini etc should fit. The one on my trike, came with an MGB. Worth trying one to check first.
If someone really wants your fuel, they will just cut the pipe to the carb.
I only fit one, as someone once put what looked like, very fine sand in my car fuel tank. I didn't realise for a while and it caused breakdowns, damage and a lot of expense. Perhaps I'd upset someone.
