I think there is a retina scanner.

Nope, that is available on Jeep Cherokee's only. ; )

LOL You could be a redneck.

If you have a decent grip, compress the cap at two opposing points on the side of the cap and twist. I haven’t encountered one yet that wouldn’t come off.

the key should say GAS on it...

[Blueflag]

Thanks guys. My bro found the key marked “gas” on the other key ring.

G’nite all.

Then again, there is always a locksmith for $60.00 an hour or so.

Because your father is not well, I'll refrain from my typical snarky behavior. You might call around to the various auto parts dealers (such as NAPA); they've likely had customers lose a locking gas cap key.

You might also go to the locksmith and describe your dilema. Through the years, I've had plenty of professionals offer advice and the use of tools rather than gouge me with an outrageous labor fee.

Good luck, God bless, and prayers up for your father.

If this doesn't help, you could try a screwdriver, but be careful how much vodka you put into the drink.

I don't like screwdrivers. Will a single-malt suffice?

[Chode]

welcome... glad you found it

[Grizzled Bear]

That’s great news. May you also have great news concerning your father.

Dads' kid putting gas in dad's car?

Unheard of!!!

A brass desk key looks like the one you want. An electric drill will take out most tumblers.

Need more info. Was the gas cap made in THAILAND?

[Canedawg]

Oh, c’mon, there’s got to be a lever next to the one that pops the trunk open.

It would be a small key, round head, about an inch for the male part.

If'n it ain't on the key ring you have, look for his spare keys or the house keys. Otherwise, it's likely in the vehicle somewhere.

Choose wisely young jedi. It could be a trap.

My 88 year old wanted me to put a lock on her door because she thought her 94 year old brother was going into her room to steal her money.

She called me a couple of days later to tell me she could not find the key, and i could I get another one. Of course, I have four of them because I knew this was going to happen.

So I go over to the house and when i give her the new key, I see that the old key is on the little spiral band around her wrist. When I asked her when and where she found the old key, she looks at her wrist in complete surprise: Where did that come from?

They are 88. The key could be anywhere. Or wrapped around his wrist. While part of me is frustrated, the other part of me kind of looks forward to the day when everything has the ability to surprise me again.

A Sawzall would work.
