fuel fillers - do they have to lock?
we use fuel fillers at work that dont have alock and key
however, they need a special tool to open them, similar to locking wheel nut key..
so a passer by couldnt open it..
is this enough?

Would have thought so - let me check the manual...
Nope they don't have to lock - as long as you have one on, it is secure and dont leak fuel you should be alright. Though for peace of mind
I'd want a lockable one - similar to the one you describe.

Errr maybe I'm missing the point here...
Fuel caps need to locking in some way. either directly or behind a locking flap as in most modern cars. This is a basic MOT fail so must be an SVA
fail ?

No lock on mine and went through the SVA with no problem. Mine was from Europaspares, not sure this link will work but here goes...

24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not

Fuel caps do not need to lock for an SVA or for MOT test , they need to be secure and seal properly thats all.

If that is true....how come several people have failed for not having a locking filler cap? Some have even failed due to having a non locking cap
inside a locking boot IIRC.

Because Mr SVA hasn't read his book properly   I guess it could be interpreted in many ways and who wants to upset him afterall?
@tks I think the reduction is to accomodate 22mm fuel nozzle (spout) (whatever it is in Spanish)
