 Posted: Sat Apr 24, 2010 8:55 am Post subject: Gas Cap O-Ring lubricant |
 |
|
Hello,
The gas caps on my RV8 have become impossible to close after refueling.
I have traced the problem to the O-ring not sliding out as it should. Actually not sliding at all.
I temporarily fixed the problem by rubbing oil on the O-Ring but would like to know if anyone has come up with a better solution.
Otherwise, I will be putting oil or gas (from archives) on the O-ring after most fill ups.
Thanks,
VinceH

I use Fuel Lube to lubricate my O rings in the fuel cap. It won't wash away with fuel slosing.

Marvel mystery oil works well too, though requires it to be reapplied
once in a while.
