I face a similar problem that many other FJ60 owners have faced - my fuel filler neck doesn't seal particularly well. That was a polite way of saying it spits gas everywhere if you park on a steep hill when the tank is full if you don't position the cap exactly in the right spot. Also those of us in states with emissions testing will likely fail emissions if this isn't fixed. Plus leaking gas is ghetto.
In case most of you didn't know, these things are getting increasingly hard to find. I refuse to accept this, so it time to fix this right and at the same time gain a modern screw on cap.
Rather than search around a junkyard for a donor filler neck, I opted to simply measure and search the intar-web. I found filler neck supply and was pleased with their customer service.

I would caution that you do this outside.

Factory cam surface bent to hell.
