Cut a long story short, i wanted to swap my fuel cap but lost the keys to undo old one.I got a big screwdriver and hammer and whacked the lock but it fell into the fuel filler pipe!!!! How do i get it out?!?!? I can sort of reach it but its real hard to get it thru the hole as its too big!!!


HELP!!

Its an escort mk4 cab.

as the fuel cap fits on from the outside,it cannot be too big to actually come back out.try one of those magnets on a ariel things,to get it to the top.
turn the broken cap sideways,then feed a cloth over one side of the cap and pull it back out underneath it.this will give you something to get a good grip on to pull it out .

It wont come out the normal way as its still in the "locked" position!!!

I couldnt believe it when it happened either!!!

Is it easy to disconnect from the tank etc. I see there is a screw where the filler cap goes, can i not just take that off and twist the pipe round?

i think four bolts holding tank in place then drop tank

but if you can get to the screw then undo it there but dont think it just twists out think you have to drop tank to get it out that way if you need another one then pm me i have a few
