Mid mount/JDX Fuel Tank Cap Rubber

Post by Cdnturboz »

Is there a source or similar replacement part that can be had for the rubber seal on the metal fuel tank caps on the earlier mid mounts with steel tanks?

Mine is broken and I checked my parts pile and the rubber is torn on all of them.

Just took a look at the link - isn’t that for the fuel inlet fitting for a poly tank?
