last time I had a locking vanagon gas cap and no key for it.......
just use a screwdriver on it.
it was like 'nothing' to break the mechanism inside,
then from then on, it looks like a locking cap, and is one, but any
screwdriver is the key.
I like to keep the appearance of the large round flat stock gas cap.
