thisismatt Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Either find a fuel door lock (was an option on the 521), or you can buy a Stant G-764 or G-764E. Search ebay for Stant (764,G-764,764E,G-764E) 2 Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 You should be able to find a standard gas cap that will fit at a good auto parts store. Be aware, there were two different gas caps that I know of that were used on a 521. Early L-16/521 trucks did not have a evaporative emission system, then California 521 trucks got the system, and later all USA trucks had evaporative emissions systems. If your truck had evaporative emission control, the easiest way to tell is a square box in front of the left rear wheel well, in the bed. Evaporative emission gas caps were sealed. They DO NOT allow air into the gas tank as the gas is used. If you put an evaporative emission cap on an earlier 521, it will seal the gas tank, and the engine will starve for gas, or worse, it could collapse the gas tank. Datsun actually had a locking gas cap door as an option for 521 trucks. 2 Quote Link to comment
