    How do I find and buy a gas cap that fits?
    Community Answer
    Go on eBay and put in the year, make, model, etc. of your vehicle; see what part numbers come up. Then, you can buy there or use that part number to purchase the part anywhere that sells it. You can also take your old cap, hold it next to a new cap, eyeball the black O-rings (if you've got good vision), and see if they're a match. You can also take the O-rings out and lay them on top of each other to make sure they're close to identical. Then, screw the new cap onto the car to see if fits without issue. If so, put the rubber O-ring back on the new cap.
