With the rising cost of gas, its only a matter of time when gas stealing makes a comeback. Anyone living in the 70's can remember when people use to carry around siphon hoses for this. I can only envision that pretty soon we are going to have punks running around doing this again.

I bought one at autozone a few years back for like $8. No problems with the CEL for me.

I've had one for quite some time, I think it was from a Ford Escape? Learned about it from this forums, back in 2003. Worked fine for 5 years, allows me to sleep better at night.
