Subject: Fuel Cap Gaskets

I am looking for fuel cap replacement gaskets that are resistant to auto
fuel.
My fuel caps are Lancair old style similar to ACS as listed in the
Aircraft
Spruce catalogue P/N 10450-1.  The only gaskets they list are not
compatible
with autogas.
My fuel caps swell up to a point where they are U/S.

Any Ideas?

Try taking your swollen seals and gas caps to an industrial supply house,
one that sells hydraulic hoses etc. This is not an uncommon problem when
using a/c gascolators in auto conversions and MOGAS.
