Leaking petrol cap

#1 PostAuthor: Muddychris » Tue Nov 27, 2007 8:36 pm

As the titel

The petrol cap is leaking. Petrol slopping abaout in the tank and a dribble coming between the the rubber seal and the tank.

Ideas/opinions

Cheers

Is it perished, coz they shouldn't leak, even when full to the brim :|
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

Thats the surprise the rubber is in good condition. The cap is fixed by two screw which are tight but the cap just does'nt seem to be tight. When the cap is locked down you can still push it about three mm further down.
