Fuel cell cap help - 05/07/11 01:59 AM

Hey guys i need our help! I have an unknown fuel cell ( no name on it anywhere) it is around a 15 gallon, it is black plastic .. Im looking to get a new cap for it ( called jegs and summit they dont have measurements ) but heres my info .. it is a 12 bolt flush mount .. the cap i have now is red in color .. the outer mounting ring diameter is 6 inches the cap is about 3.5 inches with a taper ... if it matters the tank is a bottom sump... so if mine is the same as yours can you tell me what brand it is so i can order a new one !!

Thanks

Is the current cap not functional, stiff, or is the plastic tab broke off. I just had to wrestle mine recently to get it open, same style of tank from what it sounds like.

hey. i'd say the 1 from summit is the 1 u need. they also have the rubber seal too. if it don't fit, send it back. i put some vasaline on the seal, opens easier. seeya.

I have had this issue a number of times with fuel cells.

A pair of pliers about the size of the flats on the locking ring, and some finesse to the flats will make it work better than new.
