Hey everyone, I've had issues where the fuel cap gasket seems to melt and stick to the filler tube of my 1970 Dodge Dart.

I'm just wondering if anyone has any good sources of just the gasket for the fuel cap?

Also wondering if anyone has good ideas as to why this is happening, and what I can do to prevent it?

It calls for using a gasket made of an appropriately gasoline-resistant material. Viton, for example. You will likely have to do some hunting; I don't have the measurements for what you need, but I think a 2" outside diameter is probably roughly what you're after. The inner diameter will be a bit of a wildcard. Here's a start, and if none of those is appropriate you might wind up writing here, here, here, here, and here. Or maybe get some 0.050"-ish Viton sheet and a gasket punch set and make your own.

I Spoke to James Fillmore at Carlisle and he was going to help me get the Same gasket for my '64 Dart.
