SVA compliant fuel filler cap question
stuart_g - 2/5/08 at 08:48 AM

I am going to get one of these fuel filler caps and need to know if I need any restrictor for unleaded fuel nozzle or are they compliant already.

If something is needed where does it fit.

it fits in the filler neck and does its job nicely...

it aslo a small valve/ 2nd cap wich has a spring so your keys wont fall into it...

if you have a cat you will need the restictor...

Make sure you get a proper one that fits.

Deemon tweeks do them for about £15. I had a washer in mine for the SVA and the tester didnt like it

I bought the filler about 2 years ago from Europa then bought the restrictoe at Detling.
The restrictor fits from the rear, as i had already fitted the filler it was a bitch of a job.

Friends with an old Pinto in there car passed without earlier this year

Just like this.
Remember is slides gently in from the rear
