Anyone found an FJ45LV fuel plug that works well?

I had an original rubber fuel plug / stopper on my 66 45LV that I tried to have reproduced about 6 years ago. Unfortunately the reproduction failed this past week. Has anyone found an aftermarket option that works well to plug the fuel neck on the LV? Thanks in advance.

I hoarded a spare but am curious about options.

Ordered one of these from granger. Will see how it works.

Gotta love Grainger. I don’t think anyone delivers faster to Tahoe! So this part is a little bit of a tight fit but it DOES work! I imagine as it gets more use it will work a little better. My only concern might be if it expands when it warms up if it might get stuck? wonder if I should try to drill a small hole through the top so it doesn’t create a vacuum?

Grainger has a warehouse in Reno.

I think the venting units in the rear quarter panels for the gas tank might prevent any vacuum.... i think

You’re right! I never noticed those. And it’s not like the old rubber plug was vented anyway…

Hey scoobie dudes.....I have an LV fuel plug stopper in good shape I'd be willing to trade for some round tail reflectors and gaskets----I saw an older post on those. PM me.

will you post a picture of the fuel neck without the plug? also a ID dimension?
