Not on mine .. also I think the transporter has a pretty sufisticated
"Recycling"system to condense vaporised petrol.    I once had a peugeot 504
where this system failed and the air going in was like a tornado.   I
replaced the cap with one of those cheapy plastic ones you buy at the
petrol station and it ran fine.   Sladek (Green garage in Kilburn) my VW
guru thinks I was dreaming.   He has the bus today and is looking into it ...
