Dude you can crawl under the driver side of your truck and undo the filler neck... i think its got a hose clamp and 2 of them push pin things....
If you can get the whole assembly off then you can just disconnect the cap peice and fill your truck up... then put it all back together...

Yea it sounds like alot to do just to put gas in it,,, but hey i bet its alot harder to walk home

I just went and looked at mine...

Your goin to need a Torx head bit... not sure.. prob a 25 or so.
And a flat head screw driver or a 5/16" nut driver. and i hope you can figure it out from there... just try not to drop any dirt or stuff into your filler neck hose..

Hacksaw?


pull the filler neck and break that bitch off piece by piece. New cap is like $10.
Drill the lock right out and break the rest off.
