What is the best solution for using in the petrol cap key hole when it becomes hard to open ?
Are 3 in 1 oil or CRC ok to use?

graphite, all the things you mention simply collect shit and make it worserer

New BIKE ...
Failing that, squirt a little CRC into the keyhole. Let it soak a bit, and then repeat trying the key ... gently.

Alcohol. It opens most things...
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

What is graphit and and where do I find it please?
Vodka or Isopropyl Alcohol?
I'm drinking red wine at the momment, but that doesn't seem to be opening anything yet

Try CRC maybe. Or I like the spray cans of silicone lube (like CRC 808 Silicone Spray) - they are dry (so don't collect gunk) and can work well in locks. I use 'em on padlocks a lot.Originally Posted by Sharry

Silicone spray would work. It is expensive ... but has many uses around the house and on the bike.

It probably is, as it was bought by a friend who visited from the HB last weekend
I will just have to have another glass and double check

It has a long red tube so I will try it first and then the graphite if it doesn't work.
Thanks for all the tips

CRC's 808 (silicone) comes in a dinky wee can (80ml) for $6.99. Mine has lasted for yonks.
