I'll beat my dead horse to death one more time concerning my fuel cap. I was looking for some way to help keep the H20 out of the tank and ran across this little gizmo you put over the fuel cap. For $14.95 or (2) for $25.00, I think I'll give it a try. I guess I could try and ramp up the load on the cap to increase the seal on the O-ring, but then I would need a crow bar and a wee Scottsman to get the cap off ! [:0]

This could be the same thing, there's a guy here that sells a rubber magnetic ring that has 100LL on the ring that adheres to the skin and a round piece of rubber that covers the whole cap to prevent water from entering the cap.

That be it. Worth a try. If it doesn't work on the A/C, I take Dick's advice and use it on the bath tub !

I don't think the bath tube cover is magnetic or at least my magnets won't stick to aluminum
