Hey all Im new to this -

Anyway we have just bought a 1991 Sierra & it is missing its fuel cap -

Ive tried tons of the aftermarket ones that are suppost to fit but none of them do...

Just wondering if this is common or has my car got a diffrent fuel tank or it may have been played with so now the fuel cap will not fit

Thanks in advance!

Sally

I had the same problem with mine.
I tried several locking caps but none of them fitted.
Then I got one of a Suzuki Carry Van. Fits like a glove and locks!

Would Repco carry a variety of fuel caps?

Thinking about replacing mine as the suzuki barrel (keylock) is crap in the cap.

I tried 4 different caps from Supercrap and 3 from Ripco before I gave up.
I found the Carry cap by accident.
Maybe buy a cap listed as Carry Van not Sierra.

Yes i bought a new filler cap from supercheap, just a cpc one which was catalogue specific for my model, didnt fit!!!! get an emergency cap from a servo

I ordered a CPC cap from repco and it fit fine. locks too. the only problem is the rubber seal doesnt seal too well.

there is a seller on ebay that is selling them too.

Since I bought my Sierra it has had some sort of no-name aftermarket cap. Doesn't look like it seals properly, sits at a upward angle etc. But it does; the tank still releases pressure when the cap is taken out, locks on. Just looks off...

mine definitly doesnt seal, jas will vouch for this, at glasshouse it was dripping out the filler neck!!

i got mine off ebay, it's air tight but it doesn't lock too well.

I got a lockable jobbie from supercrap. Didn't fit / lock / etc. I took to the grommet with a grinder and now it does the job fine.

The cap off a lj80 will also fit perfectly

go the emergency cap from a servo!

they fit nice and snug, look god cause theyre black, and cost 8 bucks so you can afford a spare when some bastard takes yours...

Ive got the oil cap off a 1lt as I left my fuel cap somewhere??

Mines bright orange stands out like dog b...s. so i'm after a new one too

i tried three for supercheap and none fitted, i gave up and put a black emergency one on. still want a lockable one though!! might have to find a carry van one

These would make a great short term fix. The main concern I'd have is if you can't lock the cap, your fuel can be stolen.
If people are game enough to do 'drive offs' at a servo's, syphoning fuel out of someone's car is nothing.

As my fuel gauge doesn't work. I judge the fuel left in my tank by kilometres travelled. If someone pinches fuel from me, I could end up stranded.

not to mention the pricks that add not so good things to your tank.... I would much rather have my fuel syphoned then some POS adding shit

why syphon the petrol, its a suzuki, they'll have no dramas pinching the whole thing true tho!!

I got a great cap from the guys at BBM. Locks and is VERY secure..


I've searched their website but can't find a direct link to it. (They've just built a new website)
