Re: Cessna gas caps
The silicone rubber vent valve can be found by googleing "umbrella valve." A lifetime supply of those can be obtained for a very reasonable sum with a minimum of searching. Installation is trivial.

Falco offers a good suggestion. I found them on Amazon I think…I’ll try to locate a link again. I believe the discussion was at :

The fuel cap base-gasket:
The ones sold for Cessna Caps at Spruce (PN Part# 06-00987) measure: 2-3/16" OD x 1-1/2" ID x 1/8" thickness, cost about $15.

The ones I found useful for caps, oil-fill caps, and gascolators are: Spruce Part# 05-01059 and measure 1-1/2" ID, 2-1/4" OD, 1/8" Thick, cost about $3. I buy extras to keep on-hand. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/ ... lange3.php
