Thread: Fuel Cap, I'm not the first...

If it is the plastic screw with key lock CBC make one that fits and is even yellow to indicate diesel. I dont have the part number on me but there were only 2 and fairly obvious which one fits. Most car accessory stores will have one. I got my last 2 from Supercheap $18 I think.

you will probably find they are a standard thread,i got mine for the 93 disco at super cheap.

When Lindsay was told to rotate the wheels on his XR6 the other day I saw a fuel cap release tag in the boot so I pulled it.The lid pops open and hello,no fuel cap.Lindsay tells me it never had one and he thought the flip lid was the cap

I don't know where to get a new cap, but I have a suggestion about how to avoid losing the next one.

With vehicles that don't have a locking cap, I hold the cap in one hand while I hold the nozzle in the other and refit the cap before I return the nozzle. In other words, don't let the cap out of your hand. That system has worked for me for almost 50 years.

With the Defender cab/chassis and its locking cap, I leave the keys in the keyhole in the cap so I can't drive off without replacing the cap.

Allan, my method of not losing a cap is to sit it on the drivers seat, bit of a PIA if you forget though, Regards Frank.

mine has a dummy strap attachment ...so im good until that breaks lol
my biggest dumbass thing is I repeatedly get out of the car without having popped the latch from inside (damn thing wont let me do it till its sw3itched off whereas i always used to do it on the approach to save time on my rtv ute and old el)

Quite literally a pain I would imagine.
