Hi all,
Having a problem with the gas cap on my 74. The gas cap is almost new and in really good shape. However, I must have gone through 3 or 4 gas cap gaskets in a couple of months. I have been using rubber gaskets that I sourced from a vendor here in the world. The rubber gasket appears to be the correct size, but after removing and reinstalling the gas cap a few times it bunches up and stretches and gets all messed up. A couple of times it ripped and once almost fell inside the gas tank while removing the gas cap. I think that the original gasket was made of cork material. Is the rubber gasket the problem? Should I make or by a cork gasket? or is the spring action inside the gas cap maybe too strong? Anybody else having this issue? Thanks, Bill. |

Let us know what solution you come up with. I am having similar issues with a replacement gasket - probably from the same source as you!
