[Rovernet] 2000TC Gas cap key

[Vern Inkspot]

The lock is attached to the decker panel, you can reach the bolt holding the latch bar, remove it and the bar can be removed. If you don’t mind not using the lock, that will fix it up for you. If you do want to use the lock, it’s possible but very fiddly to remove, put the bar back on and reinstall. At that point you’d really want to remove the decker panel. However, that opens up an entirely new set of issues to deal with. In this photo, the lock is unlatched. It’s the bottom most hex that you undo. The actual filler assembly is behind 

Yours
Vern
