I have lost the key to my locking fuel cap how can I get it off ... ??

Isn't it the same key as the ignition too?

Not if you've got a later car. I'd suggest a screwdriver. If you need a new cap and key, I've got one you can have for price of post and a drink.

you have to use a SlimJim for fuel caps.

the screwdriver is for amateurs.

For reference- Fabia ones fit Felicials

He expects from us telling him how to get the fuel cap off, I believe buying a new one from a different car is his least concern.

 

@Slimjim1

Since you have a new fuel cap with a different key, you have 2 options: the lockpick method or the brute force method. But judging by your lack of interest, I'd you solved it using the latter by now.

I'm looking ahead to when he gets it off. IF ,he can't get a Felicia one, then perhaps a trip to scrappy might yield a Fabia one. As I'd suspect Felicia ones are a bit thin on the ground.
