Exclamation Fuel CAP jammed
54 Citroen Picasso fuel cap wont open with my key. It's Not Frozen & I Must only have a thimble of fuel left & cant fill up - not a happy bunny.

It turns very slightly then hits a wall.

Thanks Rob it's not a remote release but an insert a key and turn one.

It's as if it's the wrong key and just wont budge past 5 degrees turning.

There might be ice inside the lock, get some dw40 down there or boiling hot water on your key then put your key straight in the lock.

So it's not the cap that is frozen, it sounds like something inside the mechanism that is frozen.

Nothing like a bit of man handling to get the job done, If in doubt, give it a clout.

Get yourself a gas torch and use it to heat the fuel cap.


One a more serious note, a bit of wd40 should do the trick.

^^^ Is that not a bit dangerous

I think you would be better using a precise flame like an oxyacetylene torch to cut it off

Haha, I'm sure people have tried things like that before.

Anyway, were 2hrs down the line, did you manage to sort it and pick up the kids?


Kids? Huh? Aah crap I spent all afternoon fiddling with my fuel cap and the kids are still waiting at school/nursery
