How to Change the Fuel Cap Lock on a Fiat?

When the locking mechanism of the fuel cap breaks and you can no longer lock it, follow these steps to change the lock cylinder: first, get a sharp object to release the internal part of the cap by lifting the tabs. Inside, you will find a small plastic gear. Next, remove the metal tab located behind the lock cylinder. Insert the key into the lock and pull firmly towards you.
