Title: Chrome Locking Gas Cap
Post by: rb6667 on August 20, 2013, 23:06:17

I have come upon a chrome locking gas cap that is locked solid, meaning it is usable.  There is no key code on the back.  I understand that a good locksmith can re-key this cap without taking it apart?  I've read many previous posts on re-keying to an existing key.  In my case, I just want a key to unlock it so that it spins making it secure on the car.   

Advise appreciated.

Hello Kevin, Yes, that was the 1st thing I did.  The Tech Manual details keying a gas cap to the ignition key or another key.  In my case, I just want ANY key that will open and lock this cap.

Reading previous posts, it appears that some members have had the same situation as I have.  One post went on to say the locksmith was able to provide a key without taking the cap apart.  Any input on this?

Maybe he had some type of Master Key for this?

Thanks very much

Sorry. Obviously I didn't read your post closely enough. Hopefully someone with experience will chime in.

Good Luck!
