Full details

FAQs

Does this cap fit older Montesa 4RT models?

No, this specific part is designed for the 2019-2024 production years.

Is the black finish prone to fading?

The alloy is anodized for durability, though prolonged exposure to extreme UV rays and harsh chemicals can cause minor cosmetic fading over time.

Do I need to reuse any parts from my original cap?

The Apico cap is a direct replacement, but always check if your original O-ring seal is in better condition to ensure an airtight fit.

Is any special tool required for installation?

No, the cap is designed for hand-tightening only. Avoid using pliers or wrenches as they may damage the finish.

What is the primary advantage over the stock plastic cap?

The alloy construction offers significantly higher impact resistance and a more positive thread engagement.

Troubleshooting

Cap feels tight or gritty when installing

Remove the cap and check the threads on both the tank and the cap for grit or dirt. Clean both surfaces and re-thread slowly.

Fuel leakage around the cap area

Inspect the rubber gasket/O-ring located inside the cap. If it is pinched or worn, replace the seal to restore a proper connection.

  • Enhanced durability compared to plastic stock caps

  • Simple, direct-replacement installation

Cons

  • Exclusive to specific Montesa model years

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Apico Fuel Cap is straightforward: simply unscrew the original cap and thread the Apico unit into the tank opening. Ensure you rotate the cap counter-clockwise initially until you feel the threads engage to avoid cross-threading the fuel tank neck. Regarding compatibility, this part is strictly verified for Montesa 4RT 260 and 301 models produced from 2019 to 2024. For maintenance, clean the cap with a mild soap and water solution periodically. Inspect the internal rubber gasket annually; if the gasket shows signs of drying or cracking, replace it to ensure the tank remains properly vented and leak-proof.
