Desperate - fuel cap - truck and bus parts - wrecking yards

[hippieforever3]

I'm still desperately seeking Susan (a 3 inch fuel cap) the tow on eBay
were 2 1/4 inch.

I appreciate everyone's advice and effort.

The best advice I received, I feel, was to find and use a truck / bus
wrecking yard.

I can't imagine it being practical to try to go to all I can find so a
phone list might be WONDERFUL.

Can we start a phone / address book of places to check for old parts?
or have I missed one that is already in existance?

Just thinking...

#1 Replace the tank filler tube with a tube/cap that will allow you to fill/cap the fuel tank. Use a step down or up rubber connection at the fuel tank.

#2 Remove the tank filler tube, shorten it, weld in a tube/cap that will work. No new tank/tube connection needed.

It appears that this might be a likely place to supply your fuel cap.

My 83 FC35 has a pipe cap for the fuel tank cap. Always worked just
fine for me.
