type where the key can only be removed when the cap is locked or an
automatically opening and closing, non-removable fuel filler cap

so I guess the deck filler would pass if it is tethered in some way.
Just been surfing on the bay and I notice some of these deck fillets actually have a tether fitted and there are some quite nice looking stainless ones (also a pretty cheezy plastic chrome one )
