Hi All, camon C 250 fuel cap required

[tony7mowers]

Hi guys,

I have a Camon C 250 chipper with the plastic tank and the Honda engine.
The rubber gasket in the fuel cap has split and it weeps fuel.

Any idea where i can get a new gasket or fuel cap please ? tracmaster only supply a whole new tank with filler cap which  upwards of £280.00.

Thanks in advance for advice / second hand parts.

Can you post pics and dimensions of the seal. Internal/external diameter and thickness.

Would something like this do, even just temporary

Haven't heard of the C250 so googled, saw 2 adverts. One had a bespoke alloy tank fitted and one had the tank replaced by a Jerry can so seems a common issue.

 

JoBeau use a Jerry can, replaced the tank on mine recently for about £25. Maybe worth the effort making some brackets and converting? Got to cost a lot less than £280 in bits.

As Dan said!

After a brief google, they seem to fit mostly Vanguard V twins to all the adverts on the used chippers for sale.

Could the fuel tank be a "Briggs & Stratton 715516 Vanguard Fuel Tank" ?.

 

However I did find flowfit selling this "Honda 18L Fuel Tank for GX630" - £100

If its plastic could it be this " Big Joe Fuel Tank - 22 Litres with Indicator" - £34.45
