I have the original LNC2 fuel caps, 1989, and have found that dribbling a 
few drops of Marvel Mystery Oil onto the "O" ring and into the wedge behind 
the "O" ring keeps the cap working just fine.  Over a few weeks, without 
some lubrication, the "O" ring gets dry and is hard to get into the tank 
top.  Also, when the cap dries out, closing the tab won't squeeze the "O" 
ring properly and the cap will turn loosley in the tank top.  I still have 
the old fuel caps and after about 1500 hours and a few drops of MMO once in 
awhile, they are just fine.
