Replacement Vents for Jerry Cans??

[Instigator]

Plastic vents have broken off both my jerry cans and I hate to replace them because of a .50c vent.
Also, the "O" rings are coming out of groove in bottom of caps. They're fine but haven't found anything to glue them back in with.
Tried RTV but it came loose after a while. Probably polypropylene.
Any ideas or experience with this guys??
Thanks!

I Just Bought A Couple Cans Like That This Weekend In Daytona And The Guy Said That He Could Get Me Extra Lids And Stuff. Maybe You'll Luck Up And He Can Get The Vents?? Btw,the Cans Were Only $20 Thats The Cheapest I Had Seen Them.

$2.69 per

http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/categoryitem_10001_10002_29849_-1_235289

Here's the good part, FREE FREIGHT!

$10.99 handling charge though :mad:

Used to try and tell customers this when I worked retail. They'd say they could mail order it cheaper and get free freight.
I'd say, "have fun".

There's a local speed shop in town. I'll see if I can get them there.
Never imagined they they'd actually sell replacement vents.

Thanks for the help guys!

Don't use RTV with gasoline. Gasoline will attack RTV and turn it to jelly. Very dangerous.
