Fuel pumps on a switch if that's what you mean. Its no easier to steal than it was when I bought it. You didn't need a key then either...

My bottle was empty with the top on and it still smells aweful.

Relax, I spilled a couple table spoons of diff fluid once, just crack all 4 windows about an inch every night and within six months the smell will be gone.

I was guessing he meant for the starter so it didn't inadvertently get pushed while the engine was running.

Thanks! Haha I actually do have wheel spacers on, those flares stick out a lot! I'm getting my lift soon and 33's then the flares won't stick out that much and summit never gave me washers for the kit!

Rains too much in FL for that - and I don't have vent visors on the windows either.

Nope... I was talking about so it doesn't get stolen. But he said you didn't need the key before anyway... erego, negated.
