Petrol cap?

[red]

I've noticed that mine doesn't ever hiss when I open it unlike my old puma and many others.

I suspect the seal is worn out but can you just buy seals?

What part would I need, does it go inside the cap?

Thanks.

You can replace the washer inside the cap but you may need to buy a non-locking petrol cap to take it out of. I'm unsure whether they are sold seperately! It might be worth giving the filling neck a clean up to ensure a good seal!

This should solve the lack of hiss and help keep fuel in the tank when going around corners!

You wont lose fuel even if you dont have a cap on. The cap is there for anti theft reasons really.

The smell of fuel then!

Excellent, thanks Matt. I will give that a go!

Does it actually need to 'hiss'? lol :lol:

Yes! It's a feature I miss!

There is like a one way flap in the neck that will only open inwards, there should be no way fuel can come back out. Maybe a tiny amount but only a few drops that are probably around the cap area.
