Gas cap leaking ; dented tank HELP!

[BNasty]

My dented tank is dented enough down to where it allows gas to leak out of the oem cap's vent. I used another gasket to try and help seal better but that isn't it. Are there any after market gas caps that seal well?

[redstar]

Is it due to the oem cap coming up a little up front? So instead of it sitting flush with the cap the part that actually opens is slanted a little?

This topic has been covered a lot of times already. But the solution for most people is to just get a vortex gas cap.

Yea i didnt notice he current thread trending until i posted this. the cap face sits about 1/8th of an inch above the mounting rings surface. the gas leaks thru the vent hole and thru the keyhole/keyhole cover area. Im debating on plugging the keyhole cover area with some sealant and seeing if that helps. I also heard using RTV arouind the ring will keep the gas inside the ring.
