I just scavanged a fuel filler inlet(?)(the plastic inlet that the gas cap door attaches to) from a local junkyard to replace my cracked and broken one. The gas cap itself was missing, but I figured I'd just use my old one. Wrong! My old one (and every other one I've seen) has the big threads and screws in a few turns. Apparently the filler I just got uses a different type of gas cap, what the guy at the junkyard called a quarter-turn "locking" gas cap. The opening is round (but no threads) with tabs on either side. Anyone know what this is? He said it was probably a factory option. I checked every Saab he had (about 10) and they ALL had the traditional screw-in type gas cap. Where can I find the right one and whats the deal with this anyway?
TIA
