Multiquip 1178986 Fuel Filler Cap - OEM Replacement Part

The fuel filler cap seals the diesel fuel tank on Multiquip trench rollers, preventing fuel evaporation, contamination, and spillage during operation and transport. This cap is a critical safety component that maintains proper fuel system integrity on equipment with a 28-liter diesel tank capacity.

During daily pre-operation inspections, technicians remove this cap to verify fuel levels in the plastic tank and refill diesel fuel up to the lower edge of the filler neck as specified in Multiquip service procedures. The fuel tank and circuit should be checked for leaks during routine maintenance, making a properly sealing cap essential for safe operation. When servicing the swinging joint or related fuel system components, the cap must be secured with the specified 85 Nm tightening torque to ensure a leak-proof seal.

A damaged or improperly sealing fuel cap can lead to fuel system contamination, vapor lock issues, and potential fire hazards during refueling operations. Regular inspection and replacement of the fuel filler cap helps maintain compliance with safety standards and prevents costly downtime.
