      Hi All,

      I can’t unlock my fuel cap on my 2013 GV 250 so wondering if anyone can help me out?

      Can I replace it even when it’s in the locked position, and if so, how?

      Thanks to everyone in advance.

      Do you have a locksmith. It is best to bring it to an automotive locksmith who can help.

       

      If the key is bent. Get another duplicate done by him.

       

      Then spray ACF50 or WD40 or CARB CLEANER (recommended) inside the HOLE of the key cap.

       

      So that the fluids make their around the locking mechanisms of the fuel cap and free it up a little.  Spray again inside.

       

      Hopefully it should work? Let us know
