Product Information
Full details
The Equip Locking Fuel Cap (ELF063) is designed for owners of vintage Citroen C15 and GSA models who need a secure, reliable replacement to prevent fuel theft and ensure a proper seal. It offers the essential security of a locking mechanism while maintaining strict adherence to safety standards through an integrated pressure and vacuum relief system; however, buyers must ensure their specific vehicle sub-model falls within the 1985-2006 (C15) or 1979-1984 (GSA) production years for full compatibility.

FAQs
Does this cap fit all Citroen models?
No, this cap is specifically engineered for the Citroen C15 (1985-2006) and the Citroen GSA (1979-1984) only.
What happens if I lose both keys?
The locking mechanism will remain in its last state. It is highly recommended to store the spare key in a secure location separate from the vehicle.
Is this cap suitable for both diesel and petrol versions?
Yes, this model is designed to be compatible with both petrol and diesel fuel systems for the specified vehicle years.
How do I know if the cap is sealed correctly?
The cap features a torque override mechanism that will produce an audible 'click' when the correct sealing pressure has been achieved.
Is the cap weather-resistant?
Yes, it is built with durable, fuel-resistant materials designed to withstand various weather conditions without degradation.
Does this cap meet legal requirements?
Yes, the cap is manufactured to meet European and MOT standards for fuel system security and safety.
Troubleshooting
Cap is difficult to turn or won't click
Ensure the threads on the filler neck are clean and free of debris. If the cap is brand new, verify that it is properly aligned with the filler neck threads.
Key does not turn in the lock
Check for dirt or corrosion inside the lock cylinder. Use a small amount of dry graphite lubricant to clear any internal obstructions.
Fuel smell around the filler neck
Inspect the rubber seal on the underside of the cap. If it appears cracked or flattened, it may no longer provide an airtight seal and might require inspection.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Prevents fuel theft and vandalism
- Audible torque override ensures a perfect seal
- Meets rigorous European and MOT safety standards
- Includes two keys for added reliability
- Built with fuel-resistant, weather-hardy materials
Cons
- Compatibility limited strictly to specific Citroen models
- Requires physical keys which can be lost
- Not suitable for modern fuel filler necks outside the specified Citroen range
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: remove the old, worn, or non-locking fuel cap by turning it counter-clockwise. Insert the Equip Locking Fuel Cap into the filler neck and rotate it clockwise until the torque override provides an audible click. To lock, use the provided key to turn the lock cylinder; once locked, the handle will spin freely without opening the cap.
Compatibility:
- Citroen C15: 1985–2006 (Petrol and Diesel)
- Citroen GSA: 1979–1984 (Petrol and Diesel)
Care instructions involve keeping the lock cylinder clean from road debris. If the lock becomes stiff, apply a light, dry lubricant spray specifically intended for mechanical locks. Regularly inspect the rubber gasket on the underside of the cap to ensure it remains pliable and free of cracks to maintain a vacuum-tight seal.
