Fuel filler cap

.. on the top of the fuel tank.

It serves the dual purposes of keeping the gas in, and dirt and other foreigners out.

Each of the 2 gas tanks has its own cap - secured with a bail and chain.

But seriously, the Carrier fuel tanks are on the floor, at the back of the crew/engine compartment. To access them the stowage box above the tanks is opened, and a small secret panel is revealed. A special funnel goes in the rectangular opening to concentrate the fuel in the tank, and not all over the floor.

A few months ago I posted a view of this area of my MkII* Universal Carrier, but I cannot seem to locate it now.

Let me know if you need more pix, as this machine is off for winter storage at Labour Day weekend.
