Getting deserate - Fuel cap

[hippieforever3]

I lost my fuel cap and I can't find a replacement ANYWHERE!!!!

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.

HELLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!

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.

Thank for trying but 3 inch pipe refers to the inside diameter the
outside of the pipe is quite a bit bigger.

I tried that already.

Check with a plumbing supply. It looks very much like a pipe cap set
of threads. That might work temporarily.

Gary, Here is information from the Wanderlodge Owners Online parts database that should help.

chassis Part: Fuel Caps, Mirrors, etc. Part No: Fuel Cap CAT# 6L-8617 Model: N/A Link: http://www.velvac.com

Look in the Fuel Products and you will find a number of 3 inch threaded male & female fuel caps for diesel applications.

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.
