If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I plan to fit a vintage style luggage rack ontop of the boot lid.

This comes up every so often. The wording is that the cap should be secure. However in the same section it says the fuel pipes should be secure.

See this thread where it's been confirmed with at least one SVA station that it doesn't need to lock.

Now whether having a non-locking cap is sensible is another argument completely.
