                        Fuel cap on the Pz.III was under one of the engine deck hatches.

                        The fuel caps for a Panzer IV is on hull between the road wheels and return rollers. I believe on the portside.

                        The fuel tanks on a 251 and i am guessing a 250 are under the crew compartment floor. On the 251 the fuel filler cap in in the middle of the floor roughly where the front and rear bench seats meet.

                        German fuel caps are not highly obvious, i know the Panther has it on the rear deck next to the coolant cap between the rear to louvers.

                        I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

                        I am in the early stages of building a 1/72 diorama that will, in part, show field refueling of a German AFV.  I have done some research, but I am having a hard time finding where the fuel caps were located on panzers I-VI,  armored cars, and 250/251 half tracks.  Can anyone recommend a resource (preferably online) that would help with my research?

                        Thanks!
