What new F4i gas cap should I get?

My stock cap must have been sat on one too many times.

One of the tangs is breaking that holds it in and it is leaking !!!

I did searches like "F4i aftermarket gas cap" and got nothing

What do you guys recomend ? And where can I get it ?

I just want something that seals well.

those caps are crap, they will leak from the rubber seal on the bottom.

This is what i have and it works great. The oring that comes with it is small so get a thicker one and it wont leak from that. And go to home depot and buy an orange gasket paper in the plumbing department. Cut them out and i added 3 to the gasket that comes with it cause the tank i have the cap doesnt sit right from being dented. With all this i can wheelie and crash with a full tank and no leaks.

that might be the fix for it right there, I never had a leak problem during wheelies, only stoppies. that gasket that comes with it is junk doesnt create a good seal by itself

Vortex or ProTek also make some nice options. PM me if you want pricing on either.

Re: What new F4i gas cap should I get?

My Vortex would not Screw shut when i had it on my dented tank... So i just took the cap off my stock one and it works great and the vortex works great on the stock tank Lol win win... ON the stock tank i like the vortex no leaks... Looks clean screws on easy... For a dented tank i think i will just find stock caps for now on...
