<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>During my drive to Open Roads in
Lake Tahoe in 2002, I filled my tank and drove away, not discovering until I
stopped later that the noise I heard like something falling off the car was the
petrol cap. I had laid it on the top cover, as was my habit during
fueling. After a futile search for it over the last 20 miles, I came
across a NAPA store in the country. Well, there is no chance they will
have a Healey gas cap, but I went in to check anyway. The clerk simply asked
“locking or non-locking?” and produced one exactly like the one I
lost. I don’t know if it was BMC factory original, but if not it
was close enough, and certainly better than duct tape.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>The moral of the story: since
then I have made it a firm practice to put the cap in a pocket during fueling,
and I have not lost another one. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all, I foolishly drove off from the gas station and
left my original filler cap on the rear seat back. It fell of on the road
and was run over. Much misery ensued.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I could buy a new replacement but they are not quite the
same as the originals, so does anyone out there have a used original filler cap
they will part with? I have a BT7, but I believe the same cap was fitted
to all the 6 cyl cars, and perhaps the 100s as well, but I am not sure of that.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you have something, please contact me off-list.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>With thanks, Mirek<o:p></o:p></p>
