Frequently asked questions

What is the NRC2538 fuel filler cap and what does it do?
The NRC2538 is a metal fuel filler cap that seals the fuel tank filler neck, closing the fuel system against dirt, spillage and evaporation. It fits with a three-lug inward bayonet: the lugs on the inner face engage the filler neck and lock with a partial turn.
How do I know if I need the 3-lug inward cap?
The NRC2538 uses a three-lug inward bayonet fitting, where the locking lugs sit on the inner face of the cap and engage inside the filler neck. Land Rover filler necks vary, so check that your neck takes an inward-lug cap rather than an outer-ring or screw type before ordering.
Which Land Rovers does this metal filler cap fit?
The NRC2538 fits the early Land Rover Defender, Series 1, and Series 2 and 3. It's the metal three-lug inward pattern used across these models. Because filler neck styles changed over the years, match the cap's lug arrangement to your existing neck to be sure.
