Anti siphon protection

Does the FF have any protection from thieves emptying your tank by siphon?

I had no luck siphoning/pumping diesel out of the filler when I tried but I don't know it it specifically has an anti theft measure.
It would be good to know as the unscrupulous might think about "alternative" fuels if the tank can't be dipped!
I suspect thieves would just drill a hole in the plastic tank anyway.

I've tried siphoning petrol but with no success. I couldn't get the hose down. I suspect it might be possible with a very flexible silicone rubber tube but petrol and silicone don't like each other.

Drilling a hole in the tank never occurred to me - I'm too honest! Embarassed Ron B. VK2OTC
