Looked up the Tridon locking fuel cap specified for Sierra's here: http://www.tridon.com.au/downloads/down ... px?D=46630 Tells me I need a Tridon TFL 207. ( I have a late 1996 Coily) Which is equivalent to a CPC SL21EC or a Aunger LC01. So I picked up a Tridon TFL207 from my local Sprints. Can't make it fit for the want of trying. Has 2 lugs on each side of the cap, that locate it. They slide into their respective slots ok. Has 2 catches that hold it on - they are the ones that retract when you turn the key. They don't seem to catch on anything, no mater how hard I push the damn cap on. Anyone else had this trouble? |

i had the same problem, just had to use a flat screw driver and work the tags inward a bit so it would grip to something. |

we go places where we have to carry 6 jerry cans each, bit hard with LPG plus LPG is nearly the same price as ULP here. |
