Can you get access to the water tank from the inside to clean out the tank?

You could take off the utility and remove the hose to get at the back side of the lock.

Hope this is a help?

As Simon pointed out on the other thread...these pics are from a US spec California and are different to the European version.

I have a used one of these: filler neck and cap with keys. About £22.00 new
