Need to replace a gas cap gasket on one of my wing tanks, I went to the 

local auto parts store and they have a two types of material in a role one 

is cork with a rubber base and the other is rubber based but kinda like hard 

card board.  The guy also said you could use an old inner tube!  Does anyone 

have any advise?

Someone on the list told me  couple of years ago that a replacement gasket 

for a particular model Mercedes auto fit perfectly, and it did.  I can't 

remember which model it was, but perhaps you could use the Matronics search 

engine and find it, and if not, hopefully a list member can provide you with 

that information.  If not, I'm pretty sure I saved the box my gaskets came 

in for future reference, but it would be some twenty miles away where my Fox 

is hangared, and not immediately available.

John and Debra McBean have the gaskets that you need. The shipping  

costs more than the gaskets, as I recall. : )

Mercedes Benz # 140-471-00-79 appears to still be available on-line 

at a variety of auto parts stores. Just Google "Mercedes 

140-471-00-79" and you'll get a few hits to work from. ($2.27 at 

www.importpartsspec.com) These have been recommended for the last 

seven years in the archives so I think their longevity is probably 

satisfactory. (I've only been using them for a year.)

Anyone interested I have two new SS factory fuel tank caps, powder

coated red, with small flare on inlets to aid in fuel delivery. 40.00

for the pair plus UPS ground shipping.

Ray,



Viton rubber has "A-Excellent" resistance to leaded and unleaded gasoline

according to Cole-Parmer's chemical resistance guide.  I found it

in McMaster-Carr in 1/32" and 1/16" sheets as small as 4" wide and

cut to any length you want.  You may find a supplier you prefer.  Good

luck.
