You can use generic cork/rubber gasketing but will have to cut it to
fit. Something of a pain, but do-able. IMPORTANT!!! (Reason for post
to the group....) DO NOT use any kind of RTV (rubber) sealant in this
or any application involving continuous exposure to gasoline. Neither
will Hylomar majick Eurogasket stuff work (even though it says it
will). The ONLY stuff I have found to make a reasonable seal is good
ol' Permatex #2. It does not swell or dissolve in gasoline. From
what I can tell, it does not dissolve in anything (ever try to get it
off your hands?) (Well, yes, I know about alcohol.) There is a
possibility that gasohol can perturb Permatex #2, but I cannot say yea
or nay.

This is Victoria British in Lenaxa, KS. See the Monster Vendor List
for details. They are sometimes cheaper (especially with sales)
sometimes more expensive, but on average slightly lower quality than
Moss, which itself wins no prizes....
