DIY Fuel Cutoff

Hey y'all, as you can see I'm new here and this is my first post. I've visited a few times and poked around but since I don't drive a Merc I didn't have much of a reason to register. My sister just bought a C230K so I decided to come on back .

So, that's why I'm here. Since she just got this car (yesterday) and it's around Christmas I want to get her something for it. This is her first car she's owned, as she's 17. I thought that to help her from her car being stolen I would buy her either a locking gas cap, (gas is expensive!) a hidden fuel cutoff, or both. I just wondered (and I searched) if anyone knew how I could make her a fuel cutoff switch with my dad for Christmas. It can't be really costly (I bet it's not) since I'm only 15. Thanks for any help in advance!

Well, stuff about the car that you three-pointed fellas might want to know
Black/black with about 24000 miles, MY2004, auto... I haven't got to drive it yet (I have an exam tomorrow but she doesn't, so I'm gonna wake up early and test drive it with my dad before she wakes up ) but hearing the supercharger sure is nice. Can't help but love that noise, really.

Thanks for any help in advance! And some of you might recognize me from Beyond.ca or Ferrarichat if y'all are members there. Glad to be here, and I've already bookmarked it!

dude, when you lock the car, the fuel door is locked as well. you don't need any of those things.

^^... and it's near-impossible to start the car without authorized keys anyway.

Ok, thanks... I've never really been much of an M-B guy so I don't really know that much about them...

But man, the CLS is... wow.

Want added protection, get wheel locks.
