Or can you not get the key in at all? Does it turn even a little? Man, this is a stumper.... Check The Marketplace, or put a WTB there yourself. Surely someone has one. I sold the extra one I had.

You know,, when I messed with mine, I got it all put together, then poked the key in & Verified it worked, prior to Locking my tank closed with it..

Now, would I have done that when I was in my 20's? IDK, But Ive built myself enough "Bear Traps" & stepped in them down thru the years that I have learned to see a bit further down the road, Hope you get outta trouble soon.,

My locksmith wasn't as useful as Classic650's. This is embarrassing, but I owe it to everyone to follow-up on my own dilemma. At the suggestion of another mechanic, I ordered a new cap (cheapcycleparts.com) and upon it's arrival extracted the old one with a Stanley pry-bar. Violent, but effective, 'though some of the old cap remains in the tank, and always will. Used a small cutting board wrapped in a towel to protect tank. No damage to opening or filler neck, new cap fits fine and, hey, it doesn't leak!

liltimmy YaBB Newbies Offline Have a Thumpin' good time! Posts: 37 Paradise Gender:	Re: gas cap Reply #21 - 02/05/12 at 08:39:15 Easy fix for the leaking gas cop. I took the tapered gasket out of a plastic bathroom sink p-trap installed it behind the tank gasket with the flat side to the gasket. Put it all back together and though it is a little tight to get on and off it has not leaked since. 3 years now no leak.

When I got my Ryca modified tank back, I had a guy replace the stock filler with one of these old style caps. Twist on and off, no complications.
