Fuel filler restrictor

Fuel filler restrictor fell out while filling up petrol.

sealant had completely broken off and no longer holding restrictor in place.

I am after the rubber which holds the restrictor in place (see pic below)

Alternatively, I am also after the original fuel cap (pre filler restrictor).

cheers

Just leave it out. Makes it easier to fill.

Current ADR's dont require them. Previous ones did. Just rip it out. There is no good reason for it and you dont need them anymore.

You should be able to get one from any parts store like Super Cheap Auto or Repco.

Hey Vectose,

what size would i need? and are all fuel caps interchangable?

never in my life have i needed to buy a fuel cap until now lol

i figured being an FTO and an import, the fuel cap would be something different to the home grown fuel caps available in australia.

getting tired of smelling fresh fuel in the cabin.....

Just go in and ask for a fuel cap for a FTO, they'll look it up in their database.

Just checked the CPC website and they have two different types.

Part numbers

Standard: 84ULP
Locking: SL84ULP

these are the restrictor size fuel cap, and are too small to use on actual fuel filler opening.
