I have a locking fuel cap and no key, if I buy a new fuel cap same type as the one in my car will the key work for the old one?

No it will not. You will have to break the old cap off. What I have done in the past is to take a flat head screwdriver and tap it into the keyhole using a hammer. Then twist and pry until the cap breaks in two pieces. Then use a pair of pliers to unscrew the bottom. Hope this helps. Let us know if you need anything else.
