Ok, here's my guess. If you have any deck fills with the slot between the 2 holes, they might be home made keys. As we get older, many of us loose strength in our wrists and fingers. I could see a previous owner having trouble with the fill caps and had someone take to valve handles and modify them so that he could use the leverage to loosen a tight fill cap. As I get older and weaker, I find myself utilizing leverage to tighten or loosen things that my former vise grip hands use to be able to muscle off.
