Posts: 2 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | Getting off the fuel filler cap Okay, so I've just bought a 12 year old Punto to give me a year or so's getting to and from uni, and I can't get the fuel filler cap off! I put the key in, turn it, and then when I turn the cap, it just clicks like a medicine bottle top. Now, I figure it is some sort of safety device, but I can't seem to undo it. If I push in the cap and the key at the same time and turn it, it seems to turn a little smoother (without clicking), but turn after turn after turn, and still I can't get in?! I'm sure this must be a regular thing with Punto owners, so just some simple advice would be appreciated!
