I wish some one would pinch the 60l of crap 98 I got for the 38 in Canberra on the weekend, sorry I should rephrase that to 55l of 98 3l of water, 1l of what looks like diesel and 1 of dirt and sand

Good luck stealing from wifes EGas ute ..

Dad had a '57 Chev during the fuel shortages of the early 80s (also owned a fuel station which helped). Couple of times had idiots try and steal fuel from it while parked in the driveway at home .. but they could never work out where the fuelcap was (it's behind the vertical chrome strip on the LH(?) fin)

Just realised this is the same old thread.

Go back to Post #13 on Page 1 for the same story I just wrote up then.

I told him to get the hell away from the ute ... but I was so close to laughing at him though.

Thank God for LPG and one-way valves.

Back in 87 in Queanbeyan I lost two full tanks on the XC in two nights, 160 odd liters.
They did leave me enough to to the servo but it still annoyed me.

They were probably laughing at you for not buying a locking cap after the first one.
