Hi

does anyone happen to have an original, genuine Volvo locking petrol cap on their 240?

I was wondering what it looks like, does anyone have a picture?

thank you.

 

the chrome one?

 

im not sure what they look like,
thats what I want to know,

so I can look around the wreckers for one, but I don't want a generic one, I want the genuine thing,

if I can locate one.

 

I've seen them on ebay but they look aftermarket. Its pretty much impossible to siphon gas on a 240 because there is some sort of screen in the fill pipe ... I have tried on my own car

 

I was thinking the oil cap......crap......They are red and heavy....the plastic is kind of porous. I had to get rid of mine do to smog crap here in CA and installed a toe nail of an aftermarket crap

 

I don't think those caps have changed much over the years. My 960 cap looks a lot like my '87 740 GLE cap. Do you want to see one of those? I put a store bought cap on my 960 and the thing broke in pieces in less than 6 months. I went to a junk yard and got a real Volvo cap.

 

Sure, if you have a picture that would be great, thank you.
