If you just remove the locking latch with the 2 screws under the stock cap you wont need a key.

Locking cap prevents that random asshat from siphoning the gas and/or dropping foreign matter into the tank.

Nice. I had a friend bring me one back from Italy. At first I was worried about the non-locking but I quickly got over it.

It's black, if it looks bronze it's because of my poor picture taking skill.

You'd have to be really stupid to siphon a Hyper.
Chances are you will endup with 1 gallon or so 
Now foreign matter would be really annoying.
