Discovered seal issue under max-braking going into T-10 @ Thunderhill and about 2-gallons of gas flowed out from gap between cap & tank! 
Original O-ring is low-quality material and degrades quickly. I rummaged through back of auto-parts store and found genuine butyl-rubber flat O-ring that matches. I've had to use 2 O-ring seals. Glued them together with Yamabond-4 and to cap & tank on top & bottom as well.
BTW - OP mis-installed his cap. Should've been clocked 60-degrees to left and use short "dummy" holes for mounting so fill-holes line up. Longer mounts hang over nothing and their longer-length is accomodated by larger non-threaded holes. No grinding necessary. |
Thanks for highlighting the issues. Appreciate it.
So, has anyone seen a 3rd party solution out there besides SSR that really works without us replacing o-rings or pasting o-rings together?
