Try to obtain a small sheet of viton rubber and make your own. It can be
had from McMaster-Carr I believe. www.mcmaster.com

Now if I fill it up even close to the top of the tank it leaks onto the tank while splashing around and takes the wax off with it. I noticed that the rubber gasket was not in that great of shape while cleaning the vent holes. Has anyone made new ones of these? I can get a sheet of rubber gasket material from my local hardware store and cut out a new one but don't know how it will hold up to the gas. Any tips or suggestions from the group?
