    Yes the sandman fuel filler cap is not the same as the chrome lockable unit, it is a colour coded plastic cap and does not lock, it sits flush with the bodywork (well except the handle section). It is my understanding (could be wrong) that these caps were only fitted to sandman vehicles???

    some links to some pics for those who dont know what we're on about:
    orange van
    yellow van
    white van

    if the caps are generic does anyone have one lying about??

    The petrol cap is generic and was fitted to vans, utes and wagons. It is a pressed metal cap with a cast handle screwed to it. I got a couple from Forbes wreckers when I was down there with Rodney..... I got an extra for a spare as I was always leaving them either on the roof or the bowser back in the 80's when filling up..... lost quite a few that way...

    They look very similar to the wagon caps.

    I wish I could say I still had one, but I of course when I had my wagon I left it on the roof one day...

    I thought all the chrome ones were aftermarket. What does the parts manual say?

    Locking petrol cap is listed in the HZ parts catalogue under accessories.
