RE: Spider gas cap question- does it need a seal & Spuica pump question

["Paul Novak" <spammit@domain.elided>]

Here is a another data point:

My '73 Spider has a rubber gasket as part of the gas cap.  Mine is what I
would call a 'bayonet' type of cap though--the kind with two ears that fit
into two slots in the filler tube.  You turn it about one quarter turn to
tighten it.

The seal is about 1/8" thick, 1.5" ID and 2.375" OD.

I would expect that a vehicle like this one which is equipped with
evaporative emmissions controls (the charcoal canister) would have to have a
seal here.

Regards,

Paul.

I thought I would try again on this question!

Should a 1973 Spider has a seal as part of the gas cap?  Mine doesn't, and
the one that IAP sells does not as well.  This is the screw-on type of cap.
And if they don't or didn't have them originally, are people going without
or should one be fabricated?

Also, I was thinking of procuring an extra Spica pump.  Will any model year
do, or will only certain years work appropriately?

Thanks.

Jason Hagen
'73 Spider
