I have a very nice orginal Stant gas cap but the gasket material is gone. Any one have and idea about a new gasket for this and what was the orginal material made out of. Thanks for any help john

I believe that the original gasket material was a cellulose fibre-type material (i.e. thick paper). If I recall correctly, it was tan in color, but it might have been gray. I think that you can find this type of material in auto parts stores in bulk. Then, just "cut your own".
