Re: leaking gas cap fix?
mine leaked around the outside of the cap(where it meets the tank). only thing i found that fixed it was gas tank and radiator repair. it looks and works the same as jb weld, only holds up to gas.

probably because you layered the material try using this **** that comes in a yellow tube and says "Gas & Oil" right on the front of the tube. put a bead around the rim of where the cap contacts the tank, tighten the screws and let it dry.

Re: leaking gas cap fix?
So I used the cork sheet from Auto Zone. it works great. no leaks yet and I rode all saturday night. Had to put about 4 layers on it though.

No compass. I just took the cap off the tank set it on the cork and marked my lines by hand with a sharpie and cut it with scissors. kinda ghetto but it worked

Haha, might be giving it a little too much credit. I remember you saying it was leaking at first...

I guess you didn't pay close enough attention when I said I needed to tighten it down more.
