Source for an Evinrude pressure tank gas cap??

[cheburashka]

I have a pressure tank in good condition that I'd like to use as a backup. Unfortunately, it is missing its cap--kind of an important part of a pressure tank. I've seen complete cap-gauge-connector systems from rusted out tanks on Ebay, but they've always gotten a bit to expensive for me. I'm looking for just the cap. Does anyone know a source for these?<br /><br />Thanks

Those tanks haven't been made for over 40 years.

Is the cap broke? Or does it just need the rubber seal?

The cap is completely missing. The guy I bought it from was using a bathtub plunger and a 2" PVC pipe cap, but that didn't work very well. <br /><br />I know they haven't been made in over 40 years, but I thought even if they aren't sold anymore, maybe somebody had a suggestion as to what might work as a replacement.

Try a junk OB place like Twin City Outboards, Trixie's Marine in Bayville, NJ, American Outboards in MD, etc. I can't imagine anything but a proper cap working.
