Gas Cap Gasket, gas cap Options

[Mike1981]

Hello Everyone

I tried to use the search function on this but was unsuccessful...

My gas cap gasket seems to have failed, and leaks when tank is full and I turn hard.

I have a metal cap with a cork gasket.

Does anyone know where I could buy a new one?

Thanks

The original gasket was fiber. Check tbe cap to be sure the spring is not briken and the rubber bladder under the inner ring is intact. If so the cap will notmaintain pressure on the gasket.

The spring is not visible. Press down on the center of the inside of the cap. It should be under tension.
If it is broken you ned a new cap. Same as a VW Beelte in the 70-74 year range. I dont like the 914 rubber seal either. I make rhem out of a thick fiber material.
