That sounds just like my gas cap, but I have no trace of any message left such as you mention.
I will get a fresh camera battery today and try to post a pic tomorrow. If your Saab is early like mine (69) it has no evap controls (charcoal canister) and the tank vents through the gas cap. My gas cap had to be modified by carving grooves in the gasket to vent; without them air could not get in the tank to displace removed fuel. Probably all those caps are non-vented as sold. If your car has evap controls you should use the unmodified gasket. I do not know what year evap controls were introduced, & it may have been a running change, ie mid-year. I will include a pic of my modified gasket.
