When I got my 1500 the cap leaked when the tank was full. One of the o rings Troll mentioned was missing. New o ring fixed the leak.

Start out by making sure that all the screws (including the little, tiny ones), are tight. Check the vent hose to be sure it's not plugged. You will probably need to take it off the tank to get to the little phillips screws, be aware that there are 2 O rings on the large screws, so don't let them fall into the tank

You may also try to cut one from an old rubber tire tube.

Go to an auto parts store and buy some gasket material and make your own.

My fuel cap leaks on my 2001 Drifter 1500. I call the dealer about replacing the gasket and he said I needed to buy the whole gas cap assembly for $85? It seems like it would be alot easier and cheaper to replace the worn out gasket????
