Fuel Oil caps for a husky 240E?

[Smallenginetime]

OK, Ive tried researching the part numbers for new fuel oil caps on my Husky 240E. I had to swap everything over from my 240 due to the fuel tank having a hole knocked in it. , found a chassis for a 240E and everything is moved over to find that my fuel oil caps from the 240 are too big.

I looked up the part number based on the saw serial number and i got P/N:545070801. This on is too big to screw in to the case. Any suggestions for a fuel oil cap that fits?

Looking online I can see 544 11 12-01 for both caps.

Ive seen a few of those but after my 240 caps not fitting I'm not sure how it fits the 240 and 240E. Ive tried a set listed that way and they didn't fit.

Everything from Husqvarna's Illustrated parts list shows a 545070801 and the spare parts listings on Husqvarnas website show 544111203. I figure ill take a chance on the 544111203 and see but with no clear info on superseded part numbers its clear as mud and getting expensive to keep guessing.

BUT I did find this on one of the many parts pages i looked at. Hope its right but so far Ive had no luck on three "different" fuel caps. Screen grabs below to show what Ive found in case anyone else runs into this problem.
