Yeah. Looks like my '01's. Works fine to pass SMOG, and usually doesn't fall or get away from me. I just poke it back in, every 20 fillups.

Just needs a 7/16 grommet if I remember right...about half of the original is missing if you look closely. Shiii like that can happen after 20 years or so.

Any hardware will have those...shoot even HD has them in the nut's and bolts isle.

Looks like the good old FC975 cap. They're fairly inexpensive.... it also looks like the large o-ring is gone?

LOL

It's a grommet and it's right on the cap like I said...what's left of it anyway.

Good luck getting that with a new cap...that's not happening.

Like I said, the grommet can be had at a hardware and home depot.

Trust me Ohio...been there done that .

Thanks for the comments, guys. Brew (and Bill) got it. This is the concern.



If it's just a standard grommet, that's easy!

I'm not sure if an o-ring is missing, White. I don't get a CEL like you would if the cap isn't sealed, but I'll check that out, too.

Not missing an o-ring..suppose to be like that. The cap seal gasket is inside and at the top.

I think that's a first, thunderstorm in Michigan in February.....they're saying 72* today.

What's happening here, a geological slip...continental drift ?

I saw the answer on a Reddit thread from a tiktok.
Elon Musk is paying for chemtrails to distract from the genocide and the complete failure of handmaids tale and...
Capitalism, Yeah, Capitalism is at fault for everything we they don't like.

BTW, I like 72°F temp. And the ° is made by alt 0176.

You ever get ThunderSnow?
