petrol cap "rubber seal"

There's a locking filler cap on ebay at the moment. 'Fits Rootes models' not sure if it will do.
 
Thanks panky :) nothing wrong with my actual cap apart from the seal,fuel has started to creep out & stain the paint,so don't really want to buy a cap if I can get a seal for it,the one on ebay is used not n o s (I think)
 
That leaking was happening on yori too... from just standing there though [:0]

The garage think a Corsa breather pipe may work I will hear later today!
 
This is the part number of the seal: 725220
Should you ever find one. It was made by Webco, who ceased trrading in the 80s

Cheers

if its a flat circular gasket give me the dimensions and i will see if i have a tool to press a few
its important to use nitrile rubber due to its excellent resistance to fuel

Hi commerchris, There's an NOS rootes 'Petrol Filler Cap' on eBay, not sure it's the correct one though. It does look similar to the original one I had on my camper [?]

Sorry, thought you wanted the original one. There's one on ebay (broken key, but new seal) :) I'm sure this is the one you want...

Maybe this will do the trick [?]
 
If its like the dodge filler neck on the later commers the mark 1 avenger after market locking cap is the same and fits perfect as thats whats on mine :D;)[8D]
 
I am sure I tried the one from my earlier no.1 van & it was too small,perhaps at the next meet we could try it on....Ran ?

failing that go to your nearest motorhome dealer and buy a water filler cap (not dear)for all modern motorhomes as this is the seal i have on charlies fuel cap and fits like a glove and no sign yet of petrol damaging it either and i got it free:p
