What is this lock?
Hi,
I purchased a Ford lockset a month or so ago to replace the locks on my Fiesta. I replaced all locks myself, except for the boot lock and the fuel cap lock.
I was left with one lock spare, which I imagined was either for my fuel cap or the boot. So I disassembled the boot locking mechanism and it became obvious (to my knowledge) that this spare lock wasn't the boot lock replacement.
I can now only guess that the spare lock is for my fuel cap. I tried disassembling my fuel cap but I couldn't see a way of doing it.
So, would you agree with me that this lock is for the fuel cap?
Any help appreciated

didnt know you could dismantle a fuel lock
must be the only thing, as its defo not a door lock, defo not ignition and defo not boot
so the petrol cap is the only 1 left.....
elementary my dear watson

on the mk3 fiesta, take the cap off, lock & remove key, put it face down on a table, push the sprung loaded plastic part (below the circlip) down, & remove circlip. the lock should then push out from the rear.
