Fuel cap key replacement
looking to have backup key cut for my locking fuel cap, cant find anywhere who has the key blank in stock or anything even close to it.
seems to be a common enough size/shape key used on a lot of the locking fuel caps on CBS, RD etc etc
tried to find out the OEM but its an italian maker so didnt get too far, key has FE stamped on it with H234 and 'italy made'
Looking through my paperwork which came with the car, original builder got the cap from newton-equipment, they quoted me £25 for 2 key blanks !
by the time I add getting the keys cut on top of that, I might as well just pick up a whole new cap & keys for a few £ more.

I don't know the answer, but when I made my car, I made the tank and hose arangement, easy to get to, so I could whip the pipe of, if I was to
lose the keys

Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

thanks steve m car only ever came with 1 fuel cap key, so made sure I could easily access the tank if I lost that key 
cant believe fuel cap prices have almost doubled since I last bought one from thinkauto !
