So does anybody know where I can get a quality lockable cap where the rubber does not crack and perish causing it to leak nor the cap rust in under a year? Does such a thing exist?

i've still got my factory one going strong... maybe you can get a good seal off a wreck? Or make a new seal yourself for the stock cap?

mine still had the original on it until I left it on the back bumper and drove off from the fuel station!!! went back but couldn't find it.

it's replacement came from Suzistore and seems pretty good, for a fuel cap anyways

Have been through about 4-5 fuel caps in the last 10 years, stay well away from the Repco or Supercheep ones, they last about a year then perish and start leaking.
I have an original one now from a Suzuki Carry Van, works a treat.

And 4 months down the track I have another shit cap that pisses fuel out which has now killed my paint around the fill area.... I reckon those orange safety caps seal and last longer then these lol

Now where can i find some fuel proof rubber sheet to make my own seals out of?

What are the chances of a seal off a fuel cap from another car at the wreckers fitting?

There's nothing that Lanox can't preserve.. Give it a wee coat then wipe it down.. Repeat whenever it seems like you should.. Presto!! Preserved..
