Re: Gas cap differences RED and GREEN???? 200 90

posted by  someone claiming to be Don Foster on  Mon Dec 4 23:11 CST 2000 [RELATED]

If you use a red cap on your tank instead of the mandatory green cap then your wipers won't work right. They'll go left-to-right instead of right-to-left, as required.

Sorry — couldn't help myself. All my 240s have a red cap, and my 740 has a green cap. But when I drop the cap on the ground too often, the plastic breaks, and then it's metal and not red or green.

I'd use any damned cap that keeps my gas in and the rodents out.

Do this: Try your red cap, and see if the car drives OK through a complete fill-up.


And check the wipers for compliance.
