Today I performed (!) the winter laying up process, including filling the tank and adding a fuel stabiliser. When I’d filled up at the station, I was just about to close the non-lockable stainless cap when I noticed what must be a seal, that had come away from the cap and was residing loosely in the tank neck in two pieces. As the bike is now laid up, I carefully positioned it so closing the cap made it a crush fit but clearly it isn’t right and there’s a whiff of fuel, though nothing too bad. Mdina have the cap for sale but not this seal, which I assume is already fitted to it. It’s flat, about 25 min diameter with an inner diameter of maybe 20mm. I’m sure through the winter I can match it up but does anyone think it’s available anywhere? Thanks

Re: Strada MK5 Fuel tank O ring
Viton sheet from ebay , think 2mm for my Sport but can check in morning, then cut my own seal.

Camthorn Industrial Supplies
HIGH TEMPERATURE FUEL,CHEMICAL & PETROL RESISTANT VITON RUBBER SHEET 1MM-6MM THK
I would get a couple of options 1.5 and 2mm ( can you measure current thickness?)
I cannot locate my original order- it was a few years ago.
