Was in the Honda dealer today and tried to buy a new rubber gasket for my gas cap for my 98 Standard. They had no part number for the item, however I could buy a new gas cap and even though it didnt show the gasket, they assured me that it came with one...oh, $70  for the cap.
So.....does anyone know where a guy can purchase just the gasket, because my gas cap is good. Thanks for you help, Raymond

In Response To: GAS CAP (Leon (#1860))

to deal with it is to get some gas resistant gasket material and make a supplemental gasket that will fit in there with the rubber one....as far as I know ou cant just buy a new gasket. I have done this on serveral motorcycle gas tanks and it usually does great, the hardest part is finding the correct thickness gasket to use.

Good luck

I bought gasket material and made one that is under the original one.  Been that way for about 8 years.  I think it is time to make another one as I sometime smeel gas.
