Abstract
A lock for a fuel filler cap has a cylindrical body with an axial keyway formed therein. A tumbler body is rotatably disposed in the cylindrical body. The tumbler mounts a plurality of tumbler pins which are slidable into and out of the keyway. The tumbler carries a locking cam, which is mounted eccentrically with respect to the tumbler axis of rotation. The locking cam is engagable in a friction fit with the interior diameter of the fuel filler neck. The sidewalls of the keyway are angled so as to present a wide mouth opening for the tumbler pins.
