Question: What vehicle is the Loyd Fuel Cap From?

[ajmac]

The part number suggests its a Loyd specific part which I find very hard to believe. Does anyone recognise it? What do normal Carrier ones look like?

[Andrew Rowe]

Hi Alastair, we are looking at the fuel tank cap in your picture for the Loyd. Universal Carriers and Auss /NZ carriers are all brass construction, where as the Loyd has bakerlite grip moulded over the brass cap underneath exactly as the one in the picture.

If you had an original I could help you remanufacture them, should you want to.

[ajmac]

Thanks chaps. The difficult part will be finding an original.... I think I know a man who might be able to help though.

The Carrier fuel cap (there are two types) could have originally come from the Vickers light tank, which will likely be from the engine manufacturer (of what ever the engine make is) (Gardiner????) A few years ago i stayed with a friend in Adelaide with Vickers Mk VIa tanks. The oil filler cap is the same cap as the one found on riveted carrier fuel tanks with the tank vent pipes.

The Brit / Can carrier fuel cap (there are two types) could have originally come from the Vickers light tank, which will likely be from the engine manufacturer (of what ever the engine make is) (Gardiner????) A few years ago i stayed with a friend in Adelaide with Vickers Mk VIa tanks. The oil filler cap is the same cap as the one found on riveted carrier fuel tanks with the tank vent pipes.

Lynn,
The MkVIa had a Meadows engine.
