fuel Cap SVA compliant?

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.

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...
