fuel tank cap gasket

Postby tr7sprint1 » 02 May 2009 12:47

Are the fuel cap sealing gaskets available seperately for the large and small caps?

i have a couple large gas caps with hard gaskets or no gaskets.

Looking in both Rimmer & VicBrit catalogs, I dont see any avail for sale. I read/hear most peep's w/that problem make their own new gasket. Something I will look into when I need one as well.

I think you have to make your own. I'm planning to use red rubber gasket material for lip contact seal. Not original but who's looking under the gas cap and should be gas fume resistant.

YES! The seal is available from Moss. Part# 071-966. We installed one on our cap this spring; fits perfectly.
