    Fill spout for threaded fuel cans, repairing rubber seal?

    Seems this one isn't a screw on it's more than just a small seal leaking. When the bail is flipped it no longer tightens enough to even keep it in the can under any kind of force at all. The rubber is shrunk and hardened. I mean I could just go ahead and order a new China thread on, but why if...

    Fill spout for threaded fuel cans, repairing rubber seal?

    I certainly could have used that donkey schlong today. In the plus side I hope my moron Ford loving neighbor was paying attention. His beloved F350 won't start unless it's plugged in all night, even at 20 degrees. I should have taken a video, 3 degrees, no block heater, and my M1008 fired right...

    Are they going to have the same rubber deterioration problem though due to age?

    Fill spout for threaded fuel cans, repairing rubber seal?

    Never thought about them. Looking through what they have I see Buna-N as fuel oil and hydraulic oil resistant. A 12"x12"x.75" piece is $99 :cookoo: Neoprene 6"x6"x.75 is $34. Better, but still a lot to make a rubber seal. I may try some back yard hack. I was looking into the hardness scale and...

    Fill spout for threaded fuel cans, repairing rubber seal?

    That may work if I can find some rubber that's thick enough, and I can get it over the lip at the bottom. Could probably even cut it out with a hole saw seems I don't know anyone with enough coin to own a laser cutter lol.

    Fill spout for threaded fuel cans, repairing rubber seal?

    Yeah, that's also what I labeled the images as lol. I thought about silicone but didn't think it would hold up long. I get catalogs from Reynolds Advanced Materials, pourable casting materials and such, maybe I could make a form to pour some rubber compound around my old d1ck :shrugs::whistle...

    Fill spout for threaded fuel cans, repairing rubber seal?

    Waiting on my phone to send to my pc email, can't upload from my phone. That's not a bad idea for the can gaskets, I have 2 yet that need gaskets. One of these days I'll upload one of the cans, USAF but it has some AN fitting on the side at the bottom. Some after thought, or AF used to...

    Fill spout for threaded fuel cans, repairing rubber seal?

    I have a fill spout for my fuel cans that leaks. The rubber is hardened and cracked from age, but otherwise the rest of the spout is good. Have any of you guys repaired the rubber seals on those? It doesn't look like it will come off without breaking it.
