New Fuel Caps

[thehawk]

Because they've had a lot more time to amortize the costs involved the Jeep and Mustang caps...

i agree ... jeep and mustang have had lots more time to recover their R & D costs for their gas caps :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Who cares. We didn't have to pay for them.

I have received my gas cap recall today... Funny, I was not aware it was on recall, what a surprise . However I periodically got a whiff of gas fumes, so I guess this new cap will correct that.


You don't suppose it will increase my gas mileage ?

Gas Smell

Yup, same here. Lot more effort to get it to click and a lot beefier. I now wonder if the hot weather gas smell will go away now. Warm here this weekend as well. I shall see.

Well, did 178 mile loop today, temps in the mid to upper 70s. Still have some gas smell when hot. Then again, it's done that from day one.
Nice gas cap though, I like new, free things.

New Gas Cap and Recall letter

I got the letter about the vapor vent hose problem earlier this week. Just remembered to check the mail today, new gas cap was in the box. Put it on and canned the old one.
I have not had any gas smells with the old cap, :f_spider:is garaged and haven't noticed any fumes. My old cap must have been one of those that wasn't bad. New one is bigger and takes a tad more to get a click when closing.

I had my OEM seat redone by a professional who does motorcycle seats recently, added gel pad and we cut the corner of the pan and hinged it to allow me to refuel without lifting the seat. New larger cap fit without a problem. I am due for my 3600 mile oil change, will get the new larger filters when I visit the dealer for that. He recommended I go to 3000 miles before changing to the newer filters. no real need to change oil early just to get the new filter.

I am still evaluating the redo of the seat, and haven't decided what I will do with the BRP comfort seat the redo replaced. Will try to get pictures that show details of the fuel door and custom stiching to share. Tomorrow looks like a good day to take a ride.
