Gas Cap Gasket

[dauntless225]

Bought a new gasket for gas cap and turned to mush , twisted real bad and grew almost an 1" in diameter in about 4 days. Had to cut that inch out of it just to get back on the cap to rig it. I know it was the ethanol in the fuel. I can't afford the almost $4.00 a gallon they charge 20 miles from town for real gas. Where do you get a new gasket for the ethanol based fuel ? Jerry

You don't say what you're got but it sounds like you're using a rubber gasket. Is that right?

If so, go down to the auto parts store and get a sheet of cork gasket material and cut your own.

I would also recommend you have a look in our "For Sale" section. There's a fella who has just posted some parts for sale, including gas caps.

Cheers,
TJ

Jim Hybicki used to sell gaskets that handle the new fuels. I don't know if he still does or not. I will try to find his info.

Here is his info, send him a PM and see if he still has them.
