Did you replace the plastic piece inside the filler door that the tank filler pipe is in? And did you replace also the filler pipe neck (that the gas pump nozzle goes into)?
The only thing I can think of is that very early 900s (think 1979, maybe into 1980), and pre-1980 99s can have come with a filler neck that accepted leaded gas, and it's possible the threadings are different. If you replaced yours with a used piece, that may be the issue.
Thinking about it, no 900 imported to the US should have come with a "leaded" filler neck, as all 900s imported had catalysts and required unleaded. And the only gas filler off a 99 that'll fit would be for a 3- or 5-door (99 2- & 4-door cars had the filler on the other fender...).
I've not had any trouble finding "Stant" aftermarket gas caps that fit 900s, 9000s, and 9-5s. I did have a problem with some new caps from Saab a while back. I think they put the wrong caps in the wrong bins at the parts center in PA. They all look the same (black with green knob), but they're not all vented or sealed the same...
