How to fix a leaking gas cap on a Baja 5b

[Cupooterluvr]

Well I got tired of my gas cap leaking gasoline all over everything so I decided to do something about it.

I found out that if you pull the one-way valve piece off and smear vaseline (100% white petrolatum jelly, nothing added) then it helps make an excellent seal. I ran it for a full tank and even tipped it and nothing came out.

won't the petrolatum jelly clog the fuel line.....oh wait doesn't gas come from the same stuff as petrolatum jelly
