That Happened To Me..... Just Pry It With A Flathead Screwdriver.... The Black Cap Part Will Actually Break Off Pretty Easy.... Then You Will Have Just The White Base You Will Have To Get Lose Which Is No Big Deal

you don't need a lock anyway. if someone wants the gas they'll get it, thats not the best way into the tank anymore.

True. never thought of that. Some kids did that to my grandpa's Cummins a few months back and he still has problems with it.
