Re: locking fuel cap

Call a locksmith. No sense trying to "break" into your tank when it's cheap enough to have it done without damage to the sealing surface.

A professional locksmith will open your gas cap in a minute or two. I know from experience.

Re: locking fuel cap

Just hammer a flat blade screwdriver into it as far as it'll go then turn it somehow. You'll get it.
