A locking mechanism for fuel lines in vehicles in which at least a part of the unit is constructed of aluminum to resisting flame cutting and hardened steel dowel pins are used to resist saw cutting. The locking mechanism has an internal recess which encloses a fuel line valve in a closed position. The locking mechanism is comprised of two members which are interlocked to one another by a rotatable keying element which is in one member and selectively engages with the other member upon operation of a key to lock the members to one another while the fuel line valve is in a closed position.
