Any Tricks to Removing Locked Fuel Cap?

[TURBO200R4]

I don't know if this is going to be any help.
I bought a locking gas cap from Triumph to replace the original twist on/off.
This is the cap key next to the ignition key. Big difference in those.

yes but you have a touring

Locking caps are also good for stopping people putting stuff INTO the tank..............

when i wasyoung i had a nephew do me a favor and filled my tank with a water hose.
he was so proud for a little guy.

lol

Agreed. I ended up just calling the closest Triumph Shop (2.5 hours away) and they are going to do the drill out of the current fuel tank lock, and then do a run through of cleaning out the lines, replacing any fluids/oils, and replacing the tires..

I drained the fuel before I set it aside.. but didn't think to drain anything else..

Bike sat outside in humid weather under a cover for all those years, so it has a bit of rust and pitting on pretty much all of the chrome plated stuff.. so that all will be replaced/repainted little by little over time..

I dropped a stack on a Honda Rebel 1100 a few months back; so at least I have something to ride while getting the big horse back in working order.

Boy do I know about rust and pitting on chrome. 4 ought steel wool, buffing pads and time. It will shine up fine.

You can't get the the cap off through the fuel pump hole....trust me I've tried

Techically you dont actually need to use the fuel cap. Just lift the tank, connect the fuel line to a transfer pump and put in 3 gallons....
