Fuel tap seal.

[Hilko]

Anyone know who can supply seals for the fuel cap on a GS 1100e. It is apparently an American import to the UK. 

[Hilko]

That is if there actually is one. There wasn't on my 1100et but can definitely smell fuel from the cap on this one.

Here she is.

Can't you just make one out of whatever thickness rubber you need?

Look it up on an american parts site. www.partzilla.com has easy to use parts diagrams and only shows models we got here in the states. Once you have a part number you can see if it was ever used on a UK model or if you can find it on Eblag. 

[Hilko]

The issue is I don't know if there was a seal or not. 

[Blubber]

There is : 

 

 

"That" should be a bit squishy rubber seal.

 

[Hilko]

Partzilla don't list a seal as a separate part as far as I can see and I cannot see the seal on Blubber's picture. Does anyone know the dimensions of the seal or where I can get one.

Inner tube from a bicycle tire or if that's not big enough, the inner tube of a wheel barrowe tire.

 

Made gaskets for the door handles of my Jag from that.

 

Need thin rubber? Inner tubes are 9 out of 10 times the solution.

Thanks all. I used the inner tube and works perfectly
