I had a new locking petrol cap fitted as part of my service & MOT at the weekend
This morning I'm running late and stop to fill up. Can I figure out how to open it? Can I buggery. After about 5 minutes of futile twisting and pulling (much like a 60's disco) during which I managed to slice open my finger, the guy in the van behind took 10 seconds to figure it out.

I felt so unmanly, I wondered if this was how Darth feels all the time.

Is it like bleach push and turn?
If I ruled the world people too stupid to fillup their cars would be banned from driving

It has to be "unlocked" i.e. Not turning freely
and then turned very hard clockwise until it clicks, then you can turn it anticlockwise to unscrew. I think.

I'm going to have a quiet practise in the car park later.
