A cap assembly 10 is provided for a vehicular diesel exhaust treatment fluid tank. The cap assembly 10 has a main body (12 see fig 1) defining an enclosure 30, a filter 14 housed within the enclosure, a removable cap for selectively closing a filling opening defining a fluid inlet 18 into the enclosure. A filter retaining formation 56 allows the filter to be selectively removed from the enclosure, an outlet opening 54 is for connection to an inlet of a vehicle fluid tank, in use. Lockable engagement means is provided for selectively actuating the cap assembly 10, in use, between a first configuration in which the cap assembly 10 is removable from the inlet of the vehicle fluid tank, and a second configuration in which the cap assembly 10 is engaged with the inlet of the vehicle fluid tank for normal use, such that the cap assembly 10 remains engaged with the vehicle fluid tank inlet whilst the cap is selectively removable for filling of the tank. The invention is aimed at least partly at providing ease of maintenance.
