4L0 replacement gas caps

#1 Post by LC Cnd » Mon Apr 30, 2018 4:19 am

Purchased a yambits replacement gas cap and come to discover the expanding tangs, which secure the gas cap to the inside of the gas tank, are too thick to close. The 4l0 is the taller of the 2. Suspect the shorter is for an RZ - guess now I'll have to purchase a whole RZ to work the gas cap ; )). Also, does anyone know a good black semi gloss paint that is resistant to fuel?

Well Rob you could park the box(es) over at my brothers - he's not that far away. The last part I would install would be the said gas cap unless one is in the boxes. PM me unless there is already a buyer, no probs. TZR250... where would you find the room, new garage or is it that big of a basket? With all those two strokes you've corralled, Irving is going to have to open up a 2 stroke oil refinery nearby.

Strange, I've bought the LC fuel cap from Yambits and it fit both my tanks just fine. My only bitch is I can't seem to stop the fricken fuel caps from leaking fuel out through the key hole. Every fuel cap I have does this when the tank is full. Fuel leaks down the side of the tank and leaves grungy streaks that drive me nuts.

I ended up going to a chrome FS1 fuel cap, which fits nicely but doesn't have a key or lock mechanism. At least it doesn't puke fuel all over my nice paint job.

Can the FS1E cap be separated? I have a nice CNC alloy cap for my '85 RZ and need the bottom part to make it functional. No lock required.
