ABSTRACT:
A lockable filler cap assembly for fuel tanks and other fluid-holding containers. The assembly is readily adaptable to function as a normally operating non-locking filler cap and to function as a locked filler cap. The lockable filler cap assembly includes a cap having a receptacle whereby an insert may be placed and locked into the receptacle. In the locked condition, a shield on the insert covers at least a portion of the cap, thereby discouraging access to the cap for its removal and, in turn, access to the contents of the associated tank.
