Product Overview
A missing, cracked, or non-locking cap leaves diesel fuel exposed to rain, dirt, and tampering. This replacement closes the filler neck and adds a keyed lock for compatible Caterpillar equipment.
Use it when the old cap seal has failed, the lock is damaged, or the original cap was lost. Filler-neck size and cap style must match even when the machine model appears on the list.
