Need gas cap help
Does anyone have a picture of a gas cap? I need to see where the rubber sealing ring goes. Can't find a picture anywhere. And I'm pouring out gas all over my car. Yuk.

Oops. Maybe not the gas cap. I think the rubber oring actually is supposed to go on the car end of the assembly. Anyways, whatever is allowing my gas to pour out has me a bit confused as to how the stock configuration works...Another non rocket science inquiry.

Hey Greg, Thanks. I found by looking closer there was a groove. Why the o-ring ends up inside the cap is a mystery. I'll try that and see how it long and how well it works. Thanks. BTW, it's mighty kind of you to help out with your picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone had a problem with the fuel door not closing properly? It seems that my gas cap protrudes a bit once installed. It prevents the fuel door from closing "flush". I may have a later model cap. Anyone have a pic of a '79 gas cap.

The gas tank can move around in there quite a bit. When I removed my tank to replace the vent hose, I had to move it around a bit to get my gas cap to fit.
I just loosened the strap connectors a bit until I was able to wiggle the tank into a better position. Tighten up the straps and it was better.
