Question: What vehicle is the Loyd Fuel Cap From?

hi lynn
i meant the cap with 4 raised lugs on, the cromwell has a multitool in the ces for undoing it, the ferret and probably most other afv's of that era have the same cap

So just for clarity, you mean the centre two in Andrew's 4 cap photo?
If so, that would mean the cap is common to the Bren carrier, the MkVIa Vickers light tank (plus, maybe, other models), as well as the Cromwell. That's a very un British like standardization?

Not really mate, we British probably made them with different threads and pitch!!!😵

As I said much earlier in this thread, that cap was a standard commercial cap and used for many things, not just vehicles.
