I just got a new one of these fuel cap seals: 944-201-553-01-M100
Do I need to do anything to it before using or just install on the fuel cap? Wasn't sure if I should put a light coat of oil or some other product on it before starting to use.
In addition to that my fuel cap currently looks like this (haven't installed new seal yet):

Buddy of mine suggested using acetone as well which I might try. Do you recall what grit sandpaper you used? Was it like 500 or more like 2000?

I used #0000 steel wool and finished with a fine coat of oil after cleaning. Also lubricated the lock with graphite while I was in there.
