I recently dented the tank in on my gixxer 750 and now it leaks.....and let me just say that gaz on the az is not fun . so, i would like to know if anyone has had success fixing the seal of the cap...the tank is pretty mangled from me trying to fix it.....would a vortex cap help?

 

Mine did the same thing, so I got a predented one with a vortex cap.

 

I GOT THE VORTEX TO AND IT FIXED IT!!

 

so the vortex cap fixed it huh??? im getting one tomorrow, aint nuttin like having a black *** from gas ripping the black spray paint off...

 

I went ahead and ordered the vortex cap but i would like to fix the stock cap. did anyone have success stoping a leaky cap or just go to vortex? thanks for the info..

 

I have had a couple friends that hv ehad the same problem. Try using JB quik and put it in the crack in between the gas cap and gas tank, it should fix the problem, and if not will definitely help out.

 

I agree, that does help, but in my case it still came out where the actual cap is....jb quick did minimize it though

 

it's not warm enough to try it here yet(soon i hope) but i'm going to try and put washers between the tank and cap pedistals. that would pull the cap tighter against the tank and make it seal better. some one try this if they get a chance, i don't see why it wouldn't work.

 

use silicone sealant. that stuff is rubbery and can be molded anywhere, can be found in many colors, and will stop the leak and last for a LONG time.

 

Umm wrong! Gasoline desolves rtv sealant so if you do this you'll have a bunch of **** swimming around in your tank. Take the cap off stuff a rag in the tank and top it off with duct tape

just buy a damn vortex cap it should fix it, mine was dented with one on it. When I bought the tank it did'nt come with a cap so i used the stock one and no leaks.

 

oh lol i'm so sorry. i didn't even think about the fact that gas would dissolve the silicon. my bad i'm a stupid ***. how come a vortex cap fixes ****? whtas different about it. again NO ONE LISTEN TO ME, i wasn't thinking at all

 

went to the hardware store and got a toilet bowl flapper......cut it to fit the cap and i think i got it....still needs to be tested but it looks good to me..... :YEAH

 

if you cant duct it f........ it

 

I am still wanting for my $$$$ MONEY bitch for the tank,seat,fender!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

vortex.....spread gas tank wheelies and no gas on my clothes yet...
