I tried various on my MPI (2000) with no luck, I think this was due to the neck of the petrol tank exposed above the body work being smaller.

Not sure if this was due to it being a later model, worth noting though.

Not true. Yes you can buy covers such as the Aston locking cap, which sits over the top of a standard fuel cap. But there are also different fuel caps out here.
