★ This cap is often forgotten during restorations but is essential to keep the fuel tank well dry and clean. According to period documentation, these caps were usually stored in the glove box during use and only fitted when fording deep water.
Installation notes
The caps are fitted to the front and rear openings of the fuel tank well in the floor plate. TM-9-803 states that the rear cap was normally kept in the glove box and only had to be fitted when the vehicle was to drive through deep water. For daily use, the openings were often left open for drainage.
Compatibility
Fits all Willys MB and Ford GPW models (1941-1945). Note: these are the caps for the drain openings in the fuel tank well itself, not the floor plate drain plugs (WO-A-5120) or the fuel tank drain plug.
Historical context
These caps were manufactured by various manufacturers, including Everseal and Stant. SNL G-503 explicitly states that this part was issued 'until stock exhausted', indicating it was considered a phasing-out component.
