| Subject: | Gas Cap O-Ring lubricant |
Hello=2C
The gas caps on my RV8 have become impossible to close after refueling.
I have traced the problem to the O-ring not sliding out as it should. Actua
lly not sliding at all.
I temporarily fixed the problem by rubbing oil on the O-Ring but would like
to know if anyone has come up with a better solution.
Otherwise=2C I will be putting oil or gas (from archives) on the O-ring aft
er most fill ups.
Thanks=2C

I use Fuel Lube to lubricate my O rings in the fuel cap. It won't wash
away with fuel slosing.

Hello,
The gas caps on my RV8 have become impossible to close after
refueling.
I have traced the problem to the O-ring not sliding out as it should.
Actually not sliding at all.
I temporarily fixed the problem by rubbing oil on the O-Ring but would
like to know if anyone has come up with a better solution.
Otherwise, I will be putting oil or gas (from archives) on the O-ring
after most fill ups.
Thanks,

Marvel mystery oil works well too, though requires it to be reapplied
once in a while.
