RGS Fuel tank cap

[1200ts]

What is the RGS fuel tank cap from? An Italian car I assume? I need to find a new one as the rubber seal is bad.

Thank's

It's from some sort of Fiat.

You could try taking it to a, I think you call them, "motorfasctors" in the colonies.
They should have a replacement seal ring.

Which model Fiat?

They come from Wolfgang Haerter Bruce.. , or failing that Andy Wagner.. whole lot easier than farting around with car dealers..

Which model Fiat?

IIrc, Fiat Uno/Ritmo.  Won't find many on the roads, all turned to iron oxide by now...   Demand for parts for these will be quite low, might be able to snatch up a cheap batch!

Even now, I still don't know how you remember all this stuff, Piet.  (You know, it's really quite scary ...  :-X. )

Thanks, btw.

Problem is that these are not an exact fit, being that they are a little difficult to get on and off as the seal is different. These are plastic aftermarket ones and use a different seal so you can't buy one and swap the seal.

So if you do buy one then good chance will be a pain to get on and off..
That is my experience anyways...

The rubber seal you need is 50mm OD, 38mm ID and 3 mm thick but needs to be fuel resistant.

I did find a caffatera seal that was correct size but aint fuel resistant so doesnt last.

If I remember correctly, I had to carefully file the locating/locking ramps to make the one I got from Wolfgang fit properly. And he did warn me I'd need to.
