Gas cap gasket - any ideas
06/22/07 at 07:08:20

I need to replace the gasket under my gas cap. The obviusly custom job the the PO put on here is #1 worn out and #2 sucked to begin with. I thought I would see if I could get the actual gasket from the stealership. His response was that I would have to buy a entire gas cap cause they can't get just the gasket. What about the keying was my 2nd thought after making it through my 1st thought of how f-ing stupid is this. This has to be a common part to replace. Ideas out there?????

It feels so good when the ground shakes.

Cut a hole in the center just smaller than the inside of the cap and pulled it over the inside of the gas cap. I seals perfectly and I no longer leak gas down the tank no matter how full the tank is.

That's exactly how I made a gasket for my fuel cap.
