Getting deserate - Fuel cap

[Joyce and Richard Hayden]



My orig. caphad been replacedby a POand is just what Curt is suggesting. It has a hole and the hole is filled up with a loose bolt. A breather I suppose. The gasket appears to be thick rubber. Works fine.

I'll suggest trying a 3" threaded pipe cap. If that works you need to fabricate a seal. To fabricate a seal I'd try 1/8" neoprene.

I lost my fuel cap and I can't find a replacement ANYWHERE!!!!

It has a 3 inch female thread (unknown pitch)

I've tried every bus place within 500 miles, truck part places.

Finally talked to "Dennis" at BB

He tells me it was a Borg Warner part available approx. from 1970ish to
about 1987. He couldn't help me locate one anywhere.

HELLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!
