No picture, because it's self explanatory. At Mecum Seattle last weekend (or 2) I saw one of our trucks with a big sign on the gas cap not to fill there.

The tank had been relocated. The gas cap just went into the filler neck but the cab tank was removed. So if someone borrowed the truck (or even full serve I guess) it's easily set up to pop the gas cap and fill the cab with fuel!

At a minimum, close off the hole or lock the cap in place. There are a number of threads on how to do it, but do -something-
