Getting deserate - Fuel cap - Joyce and Richard Hayden - 10-30-2008 16:46

Ã¯Â»Â¿

My orig. caphad been replacedby a POand is just what Curt is suggesting. It has a hole and the hole is filled up with a loose bolt. A breather I suppose. The gasket appears to be thick rubber. Works fine.

I'll suggest trying a 3" threaded pipe cap. If that works you need to fabricate a seal. To fabricate a seal I'd try 1/8" neoprene.

It has a 3 inch female thread (unknown pitch)

I've tried every bus place within 500 miles, truck part places.

Finally talked to "Dennis" at BB

He tells me it was a Borg Warner part available approx. from 1970ish to
about 1987. He couldn't help me locate one anywhere.

Have you tried a heavy equip shop(caterpillar), they have different size tanks on equipment, have you though about a pvc pipe fitting to verify the pitch?

Gary why you just go to a good machine shop and have them make a cap
for you? Or contact a large wrecking yard that deals with buses?
Seems like that gas tank would not be a strange unit to find in a
wrecking yard along with that gas cap.

Go to velvac.com . They list alot of caps and also an adapter that
may be what you need to get a more common cap to fit. I think your
bulk oil fill cap is the same as the fuel cap if you want to steal it.

Gary,

Go to home depot get a galvinized 3" pipe cap and try it a couple of
bucks, that is until you find a oem one. Keep an eye out for a
parting out of a wanderlodge they come up from time to time

Gary,
Not sure if you where able to find a fuel cap yet, but today while I
was picking up some parts at "Express Truck Parts" in San Jose,
California I noticed that they have 3" fuel caps in stock. I don't know
if it's the one your looking for but you can give them a call @
408-288-5410
