Vortech Gas Cap

I recently bought a Vortech gas cap. After installation i used the shop smoke machine to see if it leaks and found the Base of the gas cap does not leak but the actual Cap it self leaks. I seen that somebody used brake fluid on the seal to make it expand.. has anyone else tried this and did it work for you???.....

if it's just the oring then get a thicker one but some times you need to take out the check ball in the vent so the tank doesn't build so much pressure ...

some hardware stores even make them on site, they just cut, put in this little mold and i am guessing use some kind of epoxy, once there done you cant tell were the seam is
