Fuel Cap Gasket

[that1028guy]

Just incase anyone has, or will have the issue I had, My fuel cap gasket fell apart the other day fueling up. I didnt think that much about it till
I got home and realized I was leaving a trail of 3.70/gal diesel.... CRAP! So I started to look around at the parts stores... Never fun if you cant say you need a part for a 86 k30... But I found one that works, Its a thermostat gasket. Oreillys pn: MCS2381

Autozone link to page will a whole assortment of replacement fuel caps for the 86 K30, 6.2 diesel.

Why replace the gasket on the cap, when you can put a locking cap on the thing?

I believe the caps and filler necks on the Cucv is larger than the Civy one. Never had to replace mine yet. See below threads

Do you own a CUCV? Have you ever removed the fuel cap?

3.70$ WOW!... im getting bent over on 4.07$ to 4.39$

Yeah, 3.69-3.70 in the north side of StL and I'll tell you, when you drive around a 1/4 tank at a time, it seems like you get horrible mileage!
