clean fuel cap. random question. were the metal caps originally yellow zinc plated or stainless steel/polished like that?
Some were clear zinc others were yellow zinc. Depended on who made them and what year.
This early cap would be up to what year?

Up to mid 74 when they changed to the plastic expansion tank and cap.

Thank you for the clarification. My 74 has a yellow zinc plated one.

Yep; mine is Spring 74 and has exactly this cap - polished with VW logo.
@wonkipop Another evolution data point!
My 74 had the plastic, but kicked the expansion tank out and went with the early filler and cap.
Yeah, my LE (2/74) has a metal cap & expansion tank but my other '74 (6/74) has a plastic cap & expansion tank.
