A cap assembly closing off the filler tube of a cylindrical fuel tank. The filler tube has an annular shoulder defining an inlet opening for the tube. An annular elastomer seal seats within a groove indented downwardly in this shoulder. A spring-biased closure member in a fuel cap seats against this seal. A dust seal is provided in the cap assembly. Roll pins provide a snap acting closure system in the cap assembly.
