My locking caps have all leaked, and looking at the stains on my latest, its from the key hole.
Maybe I just corner too fast?


I just noticed today that mine was leaking through the keyhole too.

Good news!! The non locking style cap has solved the leak problem - but revealed another :( Filled it to the brim today and took the mini for a squirt on my local back roads - no fuel smell - now replaced with rotten egg gas...

OK so I got mad today and flung the RH POS locking cap that wouldn't ever seal. :x It's now got a non locking one, it leaks too but not as bad..
Anybody running Aston style caps, how do they seal? I want something that doesn't rely on the original neck lip, which on my RH tank is pretty shagged.
:?: :?

Funny this topic should come up as I went to fill up a few days ago and also noticed that my cap was leaking! not badly but there are leaks...

We have to have a chat on Sunday about this one Doc! :wink: 2 1/2 hours of questioning time on the drive down to wakefield :wink:

These are nice (but pricey), I don't think they lock though. Some ******** would probably souvenir them when parked.. :evil:

$119USD! Forget it!!!

I'd prefer to leak $160 worth of fuel than spend that much on another "less" leaky cap!

It really sux how much society has deteriorated over the last 15 years :evil: The fact that you can't have something nice without some little crap trying to steal it or destroy it makes me sick, even in a realatively low crime area like mine every time we leave a stainless steel Ubolt/shackle on the boat trailers safety chain at the boat ramp you can guarantee it won't be there when you get back.
When I was living in Sydney we couldn't even leave a garden hose in the front yard without some punk cutting it up for a bong stem :evil:

Ok,

My B4 Liberty import had to be ADR'd with the small nozzle filler hole. The engineer had a screw in unleaded fitting the he fitted and believe me it sealed. My tanks seal well as any nics on the seal rim I soldered up then polished flat.
