I have the flip type and I also think the nut is on there for good, peened
or something but I figured if I leaned on it too hard something would break.
I dont have the gap. my gasket is a 360 degree item but it seems pretty thin
and weak. NO leaks although I have not yet filled the tank to the brim.
I'd like to replace the gasket too.
I am real curious what the comebacks are on this one too.

"Strange is Good." http://click.topica.com/caaab02b1dfltb15Bu9a/BlueTorch ============================================================ I'm closing in on finishing the Ambo. The tank is blasted and the wiring is slowly coming along. Got the battery for 15 bux at WalMart. Questions: I fought with 2 gas caps before I figured out that I indeed have the flip up with lever cap type tank. Fortunately I had a sevicable one on a battered old tank I had. Popped that sucker in place after a quick run on the buffer....yowsa! One problem. There seems to be an 1/8" gap in the rubber gasket under the cap. It's on the left (downhill) side and if I put the bike on its side stand it will leak. It appears the the bolt under the cap is peened so you cant take the nut off. true? shoud that gasket have that gap? Are these caps rebuildable? I got the newer petcocks and adaptors from Moto International. You guys running these, do you need gaskets in the adaptors? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer athttp://explorer.msn.com --- Sponsor's Message -------------------------------------- Does Windows ME Work for You?
