The lock on the Fut's filler cap is getting a little stiff.
Anything better/longer-lasting than WD40?

Old engine oil? Free it up with WD40 penetrating oil then put some old black used engine oil down the lock to coat it in a less dispersant way a while later?

That's an idea - fill his gob with pigeon poo

The pigeon crap is probably the best suggestion, the rest will collect grit.
Lock lubricants should be graphite based.
