twelveport Junior Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 71	Leaking fuel cap 11/14/13 at 19:53:26 My locking fuel cap leaks. Dealer wants $85.00 for a new cap, says that no new rubber seals offered. Any ideas?

Re: Leaking fuel cap Reply #1 - 11/14/13 at 21:36:23 Yea, neverfill above the bottom og the tube in the tank. Have a careful look at the crown of the hole in the tank,, see if its flat or not.. Use a piece of glass.. If all that is already done, then take the cap apart & shim with a thin, fairly rigid plastic piece to make it seal tighter. I did all 3.

Not sure what "og tube" is? It has leaked with only 1/2 a tank of gas when I hit a man hole cover. I will try shimming if this does not work. Thanks!
