    Fuel cap lock removal

    Here is a method I use to remove fuel cap lock without a key. Grind up a hacksaw blade as seen in video, push down to bottom of lock and push the retainer wafer forward and pull up on the lock barrel. A good soak with penetrating oil will help.

            I got pretty bored watching it. So bored I was kind'f glad when it was over. Oh wait, all I saw was a black screen, maybe it still ain't over.

              When you click on the big black square in the first post, it opens up in flickr, where you can watch the video.

                Ooohhh, thanks Rich, I've not seen anything like that before. Just click on a big black blank screen. And yes, very informative tip.

                  Yeah, that’s a new one for me too. Never seen a video link that shows up like that.

                    I clicked on the big black screen. It sent me to Flickr where I saw.....a smaller black screen.
                    Wait! Is that the "Monolith" from "2001 a Space Odyssey "???

                      I saw it fine. Just had to say no and reject all and so forth. Looks really cool.
                      Maybe it's a time zone day night thing?

                        I'm guessing that's because the video's first frame is black and flikr made its thumbnail from it.

                        if you can't see it, (on firefox) right-click the link https://flic.kr/p/2mri7M6 and open in new tab or maybe,(untried) copy-paste https://www.flickr.com/photos/154352...7/51482080007/ to the address bar.

                        If your browser is blocking page scripts you need at least the flickr ones

                          Sorry about the confusion folks, I was baffled also.
