Strange parts

[Rick007]

Hi all ,

When cleaning my fueltank i noticed a rumble in my tank , and after a lot of shaking a few strange parts fell out ..
Anybody know what these are and what there for ?

Hey Rick,

sure!  

These are parts of your old fuel filler cap. Look at your present one (if you have an MB original 000 471 2030), then you see where they go.

Hi Achim ,

Thanks , still think it's strange do . I have a original MB fuel cap with lock .....and there's nothing missing on that one.
But Dan again could be from the old one .

Yes Rick, sure.
I was typing slowlier than I was thinking about this.
Surely these are the parts of your (i.e. the car's) previous fuel filler cap.
Just keep them for spares.
