wanted Maserati Fuel cap

[Gullible]

David is going to send the one in the image this time but if that also has a missing seal now then i may well have to buy the seal from Eurospares.
do you know the part number emtee?

Hi Adam, The part number is 980138218. Just a note of caution, I can see that the part number changes between '03 and '04, but I can't be certain that it means this is the part that's on your Spyder, but a call to Eurospares will hopefully confirm. The page indicates USA/Canada, but it's the same diagram number for EU also. Hope this helps, Cheers, Emtee.

Thankyou Emtee.
If the David askew one is still void of a seal then i will go down this route.
I have ordered some new maserati emblem and V8 badges and guigario badges.
If i had not already bought the cap from David i would have got seal from eurospares.

Thanks for the ebay link I got a cap for 99p plus postage!

Resurrecting as this is now a problem in the supply chain.
I purchased a problematic 2003 Spyder (separate thread of the re-build), and one of the problems was a recurring Check Engine Light throwing codes for the vapor recovery system. Chased a few solenoids and sensors, then figured out that the fuel cap gasket was non-existent. Having had a later model Coupe, I wasn't familiar with the earlier 2002-2003 fuel cap, and didn't notice.
Looking for 980138218 gasket kit, and it's showing NLA. Anyone know of an Alfa or other equivalent?

I think the 4200 used the same fuel cap as the alfa 166.

Is this the part your looking for

This seal will fitall mini models from 2000 to 2018 petrol and diesel all engine sizes and codes. FUEL CAP RUBBER SEAL . After chasing our own boost and oil leaks from using available gasket sets we were forced to develop our own system one that's now used worldwide.

Yep, that is the same as the Coupe and late 2003 and later Spyders. The early Spyders have a weird fuel cap that requires you to spin it several times to tighten, not the typical 1/2 turn. I'll dig into that though, maybe there's an older version of the Alfa cap as well.

The Alfa 156 diesels and possibly petrols were like that.

If you post a picture of the one you have i will see if i recognise an alfa equivalent.

Here are two pics, one with the seal in place (not mine, pulled from the web) and the other is mine, no seal. Note the cap has multiple threads on it, like a jar lid

FWIW my 2002 Spyder has exactly this kind of fuel cap as well. I quite like it, I thought they were all like that. It needs a good clean from time to time though.

Apparently it’s only a 2002-mid 2003 Spyder cap, so don’t muck up that gasket!

They were available from eurospares. I got a new one a couple of years ago. The grey breather bit becomes detached after a while, but it can be glued back in so long as the vent holes are not blocked

I did try Eurospares, Scuderia, and many other sites, including the exotics breaker yard in CA. No longer avail. So conserve what you have, and consider changing out the filler neck to the later style to use the more common cap
