vairshop Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 hi all. new to the forum. I have a 91 sw8 and lost the gas cap due to stupidity (left it on the roof and drove off...). the cap design is unusual because the cap is a screw on type with the threads on the filler pipe on the inside of the pipe, not the outside as in most other makes. some internet crawling left me more confused as most Peugeot caps shown appear to be of the bayonet type, not the screw on style. this could just be the illustrations given, which are usually poor at best. the cap also must be fairly small in O.D. to clear the gas door. I knew this would be an issue if I ever lost it...well here I am.thanks in advance for any help. larry claypool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulaweb Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I think that would be part # 1508.67. I bet Brian Holm and/or Madhu should have them, used if not new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulaweb Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 On second thought I'm not so sure about that part # but I still bet I bet Brian Holm and/or Madhu should have them. BTW - Welcome to the Forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vairshop Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 hi all I did indeed contact Brian who set me up with another cap. I think i'll drill this one for a little chain or something to keep it from wandering...it's certainly an oddball part among gas caps. larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
