Subject: Re: [TR] Looking for a replacement for the gasket in my TR4A gas cap.

Hi again,
So after talking to Albert at The Roadster Factory I have another gasket on its way and we’ll NOT be traveling via USPS.
Many thanks for all the great ideas. 
The plot thickens as my wife’s 2019 Tucson has a parasitic battery drain. Remember the 10 year/100,000 mile warranty thing? Well, the good news is that this is most likely covered under the bumper to bumper warranty. The bad news is that I can’t find a Hyundai dealer that can get to it earlier that April 26.! I wonder what the odds are of them having the parts once they figure out what the problem is?
So now my TR4A is starting to look like a daily driver.

TR4A as daily driver-yeah!  I daily drive my 4A into the early 90s, which
was a long time ago now, but still it was a bit antiquated by the time it
was retired from daily duties.  Surprisingly good for the purpose.  Would
have done it longer, but Midwest winters did it no good, and hot summers
and no a/c did me no good back in the day when everybody who worked in an
office wore a coat and tie.

Have fun!

How fast does the Hyundai get into dead mode?  Can you pretend it is an
electric card and plug it into a low amp charger every night until it gets
fixed!
