I will second the problems with the "the 1/2" closed cell foam seal from
Moss". I could not get my tank to fit to properly. I replaced the the Moss
seal with 1/4" x 3/4" closed cell window insulation from Home Depot. I built
in the taper using different layers. Total cost was $7.

The Kilmartin straps were indeed correct. To make Pancho's gas tank fit,
(slightly out of dimension) I replaced the 1/2" closed cell foam seal from
Moss on the boot floor with a 3/16" foam seal that was made from a sheet of
EPDM foam rubber from McMaster Carr. The 1/2" inch foam seal would not
compress one bit, making the tank sit too high. At the same time, I bought
a 6" square of 3/32" neoprene rubber and cut a gasket to fit from that.
Both problems solved with the help of gentleman on the list like you guys.
Thanks.

The gasket in my fuel cap had hardened and apparently shrunk with age,
allowing gasoline fumes into the boot and car's interior. I made a
replacement gasket out of sheet rubber about 6" square which I purchased at
Lowes--I am not with the car right now but am guessing that the material is
about 1/8" thick. I carefully cut out the center removable portion (the
hole in the doughnut) and the OD incrementally leaving as much material as
possible to give a tight seal. It works fine and I no longer smell gas
fumes, even with a full tank.
I have a second cap onto which I had a short section of copper pipe brazed
and want to try venting the tank and any fumes overboard, perhaps via a
piece of hose out the opening for the right bumper bracket and into the
slipstream. I will report back....

Subject: [Healeys] Aluminum Fuel Tank
I am trying to fit the fuel tank into my BN2. The tank was made by an Ebay
seller called Angelheartpancho. He is actually local to the San Diego area,
so I had him make me a 100-4 gas tank in aluminum for a fraction of the one
Moss sells.. I recently obtained two tank retaining straps from Kilmartin
in Australia. I don't know if the straps are too short or the tank is too
big. I have tried bending them to shape, but one side just won't go into the
hole at the rear. Too short! Can someone give me the measurements of their
100-4 gas tank? I'd like to compare. Also, I was given an original gas cap
in pretty good shape. I would love to use it except for the fact the gasket
inside is in pretty bad shape. I can already smell the gas fumes in the
future. None of the usual suspects have replacement gasket seals. Has
anyone made one before? What material did you use?
Mike MacLean
