I need to put gas in my dad's 1996 Chevy Caprice. He's in the hospital for a short stay. My brother drove my dad's car and tried to put gas in the car but could not figure out how to unlock the cap. We tried the ignition and trunk keys, and have not seen another special Chevy key for the gas cap. My dad (he's 88) is on meds that make him a little goofy so he can't tell us how to do it.

I am logged in; my beber is on stune; my sister gave the moose the cheese; and I'll go shower.

WHAT key unlocks the blasted gas cap?

Many thanks for your reply.

the key should say GAS on it...

Dads' kid putting gas in dad's car?

Unheard of!!!

A brass desk key looks like the one you want. An electric drill will take out most tumblers.

Need more info. Was the gas cap made in THAILAND?

Oh, c’mon, there’s got to be a lever next to the one that pops the trunk open.

It would be a small key, round head, about an inch for the male part.

If'n it ain't on the key ring you have, look for his spare keys or the house keys. Otherwise, it's likely in the vehicle somewhere.

My 88 year old wanted me to put a lock on her door because she thought her 94 year old brother was going into her room to steal her money.

She called me a couple of days later to tell me she could not find the key, and i could I get another one. Of course, I have four of them because I knew this was going to happen.

So I go over to the house and when i give her the new key, I see that the old key is on the little spiral band around her wrist. When I asked her when and where she found the old key, she looks at her wrist in complete surprise: Where did that come from?

They are 88. The key could be anywhere. Or wrapped around his wrist. While part of me is frustrated, the other part of me kind of looks forward to the day when everything has the ability to surprise me again.

A Sawzall would work.
