fuel Cap SVA compliant?
rumplitter - 28/4/08 at 07:08 AM

I noticed in a Europa advert that they sell a lead-free reducer, which fits into aero-caps to allow lead-free nozzles only.

Is this required for SVA?

I have a fuel cell which has quite a wide neck.
will it not be SVA complaint?

if your car has a cat then you need one

one wonders where you are suppose to get 4 star leaded these days? Haven’t seen it in years and years.

You can get away with just a large washer plonked inside the filler neck - as long as it prevents the entry of a 4 star pump nozzle it will pass SVA.

real 4* leaded is available at one garage in Harrogate but is is very expensive, I think it is over £2 a ltr

Not in every SVA test station you can't!
Even though the washer was turned to fit, wedged in and measured perfectly!

Not seen the europa one, but I think you can get one for as little as £3 or £4...
