Mike--
The gasket in my fuel cap had hardened and apparently shrunk with age,
allowing gasoline fumes into the boot and car's interior. I made a
replacement gasket out of sheet rubber about 6" square which I purchased at
Lowes--I am not with the car right now but am guessing that the material is
about 1/8" thick. I carefully cut out the center removable portion (the
hole in the doughnut) and the OD incrementally leaving as much material as
possible to give a tight seal. It works fine and I no longer smell gas
fumes, even with a full tank.
I have a second cap onto which I had a short section of copper pipe brazed
and want to try venting the tank and any fumes overboard, perhaps via a
piece of hose out the opening for the right bumper bracket and into the
slipstream. I will report back....
Best--Michael Oritt
