ID This fuel cap?

[storminnorman]

Coming back from the pub and I found this on the kerb - being shiny (not plastic) I figured it must be from something interesting?
4.5in across.


on the inside it says beluftet (vented) 06/12

Possible lorry, something over 10 years old as they come with plastic ones now.

i think deep down it's most likely lorry/agricultural based on where i found it, I just hoped it was something interesting because it's metal

Youre going to have to keep on searching for more exclusive treasure

Looks very much like a tractor fuel cap to me, 70's 80's of no interest or value I'm afraid.

Anymore markings on it?? As according to this site http://en.dicios.com/deen/beluftet beluftet just means vented in Germany

Sniff it just to be sure it smells of diesel, go on you know you want to.

How much did you drink in the pub to be bringing home shiney stuff from the gutter?

Old style land rovers had something very similar when I were a lad and filling up cars at the local petrol station

In the OP's defence, A few days a go i arrived home from the pub with a valve spring in my pocket. So it's not that strange...
