It should have a seal fitted and should not have passed an MOT if it is missing

You must replace it asap. Fumes will be escaping and a stray ciggy to send the whole lot sky high !!!!

Most of the Minor spares distributors should sell them

make sure you get the collar with the locking cap (the bit that fits into the filler neck) as different ones have different collars and its hard to match a set at autojumble
