i just use old holden keys or any other key that will go in the lock to jiggle the lockable caps..i have not needed to drill one or butcher one off for 20 years..
good luck with the tank and the filters if its been sitting that long..i would pull the tank and clean it..at worse run a few filters and see how much crap comes through..it wont hurt the motor but will not do the carb much good..
pullin the tank isnt that major..hardest part is getting the hoses off...

Nah, hardest part is getting the bastards back on.
It's still not that hard a job, and would be worth doing. Crap can still get past a filter.

My lockable fuel cap opens with pretty well any key, or so I found out.
And my hubbie always says that it's better to clean a tank first time round (properly), than have to clean it and fix whatever else later.:errf:
Good luck,
Evie.

I thought a fuel filter between the pump and carby was a no no. They are meant to be on the suction side of the pump.

Those little mud wasps are mongrels for filling every little hole with mud! I have had them fill carby vent hoses on my bikes and then spent hours trying to work out why they wont go grrrr.

If its a quadrajet there will be a filter in the inlet of the carb anyway.
