Worried about syphoning? There is an anti-rollover valve , should help with easy gasoline theft. Ppl can still be ass holes and destroy your car to get your gas even if you have a lock on it.

I bought mine from Ford for my 2011 f150. They have them for the Fusion. Should be same size for the sport as well.

They tried the Ford locking gas plug today, does not work for 21 Bronco Sport Outerbanks. Now there are reports of criminals drilling holes thru gas tanks near Seattle. I think not having a locking gas cap or plug in the BS is a mistake

Most likely just drilling a large hole in the tank and letting it fill a bucket. It is far easier then siphoning out of a tank.

With a cordless drill a half inch bit your tank would be empty in a few minutes or so.

In the old days before cordless everything the locking caps worked. Today they are a placebo. Park in well lite areas with video surveillance would work better then the cap.

See other posts about drilling holes in the tank. If they want your gas theyā€™ll get it one way or another. I would rather pay for a few gallons of gas than repairing damage caused by a determined thief. If possible, you might prevent theft by simply parking elsewhere. Closer to a building entrance or window, or under security cameras or light. Another option is to install a dash cam that has a parking mode. These can record a pic every second while parked.

Iā€™m more worried about some a-hole pouring a bottle of water, Pepsi, etc. in my tank. Happened to a friend of mine. They found almost a gallon of water in his tank. It had been three days since he bought gas, so he didnā€™t get it at the gas station. If I can find one, Iā€™m buying it.
