stpauls Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) I have bought a new fuel tank, with a screw on aluminium cap. However, it came with no gasket to go between the cap and tank. The original tank has a gasket, which looks like silver card. What material to use to make a disc about 43mm diameter, 3mm thick? Thought about using part of a wellington boot. Ideas? Thanks in anticipation. Edited June 13, 2020 by stpauls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Depends on the design of the cap and what it screws onto. Some use a o ring. Some use a flat rubber seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

still trying Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 If your looking for the flat type seal. I used one out of a plastic 20lt can cap, (look around the caps come in several sizes), and are generally chemical resistant. Note; anything that has rubber or silicon in its makeup description may swell when in contact with petrol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
