Re: Gas cap

Mine cracked also I fixed it by going to the hardware store and looked in the plumbing department and they sell rubber washers that size used on toilets and sinks. I doubled up on the washer and no leaks or cracks and fits nice and tight for 10 years

Re: Gas cap

I bought a replacement cap from LMC about 8 months ago and the rubber is holding up fine, no signs of drying out and cracking. The cap itself is a fram cap if that helps.
