I cannot seem to find a gas cap that fits nice and tight on my tractor. There seems to be 3 different caps spec'd in the parts book. Does anyone know which part number will fit tight and leak free? The one I got recently is super loose. The one that came on the tractor was also really loose.

EDIT: in the link below the part specified looks to grab onto an outside lip. My tank has two cut outs for an inside holder.

Part Number 1876534M1 Enlarged View - Yesterday's Tractor Co.

Thats one of the caps I bought. It seems like mine would be tighter if it had 2 gaskets. Is that what your neoprene gasket accomplished?

Yes. I made the gasket years ago when I was still working and had access to a variety of gasket materials and a circular gasket cutter. One could be made by hand pretty easily. I'd be guessing, but I think I used like 3/16" thick material. You could probably make one out of 1/16" and put it over the top, or better yet, under of the existing gasket. I also had a TO30 at the time and it had the same problem, so I made two.
