anti petrol syphon

where can I get a resonable priced petrol antisyphon device as some light fingered gitt has drained my tank of quite a considrable quantity of petrol. the price's I have seen have been from 60-90 pounds/ the other choice is to take out the original filler pipe and put a new one in. a locking cap will not fit the filler as they do not make them for this boat. the tank is to big to take out every time you tie up

so any help or advice will go down well

cheers Reg

Used to be able to get a device that looked like a conical spring that went into the filler pipe, allowed fuel through but not enough space for a tube, I don't know if they are still available, but you could probably make one from stainless wire.

Thanks lads I have sent away for one of the gaelforce unit's. but since then we have found out that the feed pipe from the tank to the engine had also been interfered with they had took the clamp off by the bulb and syphoned the petrol off that way so it looks like a change to the way the feed pipe is routed. oh the joy's of fishing
