Hey Doc,

The fuel filler caps are mounted on the radiator air intake grills. Hope this helps...

doc, it was the funniest thing. I didn't even know they have it and saw it in a book store one day. Figure what the heck. I need another tiger book like I need another hole in my head (Or another 1/16 tank in my collection). It was mostly a write-up for the Bovington Tiger and the work they did there.

They have one for Shermans too, which makes more sense since the chances of you needing one for your Sherman is ever so slightly higher than needing one for your Tiger I. I might just pick one up if I see it again.
