Fuel cap

[Wayne mackie]

Hi guys I've a 2006 arto have a problem with the fuel cap it keeps popping out
On inspection of the cap it has a ring with 3 dogs turn the key one way it free spins and other way it locks so I think that is okay .
The tube it locks into seems to be to big am I missing a internal ring or is something else adrift
Would appreciate any help please

Is it the same as the Ducato/Boxer fuel cap? If it's made by the A-class body manufacturer it will be quite rare I suppose.

sounds more like the water cap fittings where the internal locking ring with the 3 slots used to come unstuck & stay on the cap part'

Yes, I think N& B like Hymer use the same cap for fuel and water, same except for the colour.

It won't be a Fiat part.
Post a pic so we can confirm.

You re right it isnt a fiat part. It is a generic part though, surprised it hasnt got a name on it somewhere but very likely to be the same as some Hymer models. Have you tried Travelworld Wayne mackie ? the parts guy there is excellent.

You need to fix it before the MOT..... its a fail point if it isn't secure.

I find it quite hard to believe that this is unavailable, N&B are really good with spares, have you tried Travelworld?
