How to plug oil canister during purge?

I am about to fill my 912 with oil for the first engine run. The one thing I haven't found an answer to in 912-018 and related posts is how to plug the in-fitting of the canister. Does anyone know what thread this is? Any other ideas how to effectively plug this hole during the purge?
 
Get a Helper

Just have someone hold there finger on the tank fitting while you spin the prop. It only take a minute...........Tom
 
Helpers are even harder to get around my carport than finding small yellow caps. I kid you not! Inspired by Joeri's suggestion about the yellow cap and knowing that I must have retained these little fellows somewhere, I searched the shop again and found them.
The purge was uneventful and the pressure required for this is so small that I could have used a heavy application of painters tape over the in-fitting as well.
