Hi Karl,

With a big screwdriver and a wrench to turn it I think you could open any vanagon gas tank. Or door lock, or ignition.

The lock isn't going to stop someone who's determined and willing to use force to get your gas.

What it will do, is deflect the interest of someone who wants your gas but has no screwdriver handy.

Happy Trails,
