Old caps crack, lose their seal or get lost when the tank is drained for winter. A leaking cap wastes water and can wet the floor of the camper. A new cap lets you drain the tank, flush it and seal it again with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJP Group is a Danish supplier that has specialised in classic Volkswagen and Porsche parts for decades, and EMPI distributes the range in the USA.
