The biggest problem levering is making sure you don't put any pressure on the edge of the tank filler hole - that area is quite weak. I like Ken's bent hook solution for cheap starters - at least you can grind them off fairly easily. and you can put them through a bigger plate to provide a larger glue area. If it was a long nail it could be formed into a ring and brazed to stop it opening up (before you fasten it to the tank of course!). Strange that your tank Roo has a slot in the underside of the flap - mine doesn't but the cap has a fold over handle piece.Ian

Quite good I thought. The plate under the bracket for the lock is to accept a threaded bar that clips into a button on the flap, a quick release affair but a good swerve as I had no lock when I got her.
