Perko 0540DPGCHR Vented Fill with Angled Neck for 1-1/2" Hose - Gas Marking

It’s well made

I was buying this as a replacement. It fit perfect and the shine and look so far is great. Looks to be great quality.

After buying a 20-year-old boat, I decided to redo the carpet and upholstery. This required a lot of disassembly. Since I was in this far, I decided to replace all the fuel lines. Unfortunately, the fuel fill hose (1-1/2”) and vent hose (5/8”) were attached to the filler port in such a way that there was no way to remove the hoses without pulling them up through the hole in the boat while still attached to the filler cap assembly. Unfortunately again, there just wasn’t enough space to manipulate it to clear the hole. So, after using a saws-all to cut the old fill cap flange off, the hoses were removed by pulling them back into the boat. That is what required me to order this part.After 20 years, Perko has not changed the design much. 2 exceptions: 1) The ground wire is no longer used, and 2) there is now a deck mounting plate that raises the full cap flange about 3/16” from the boat and helps to ensure water does not enter the fuel system. There is no indication in the description that this mounting plate (spacer) is included. There is also no picture of what’s included, so I added a picture for reference. The Perko website does not indicate that this would be included either, so I had to order it separately from a marine supplier for $20. I’m posting this to save you that waste of money. If not for this missing info, I would have given it 5 stars. Perko makes a good line of products.

Exact replacement for my Bayliner 192 fuel fill. Went in quick. Original lasted 15 years then plastic started breaking down on surface under gas cap. Don't want any of that in my fuel system.

I find that the cap is very difficult to unscrew and easy to over tighten. The 'key' with two nubs designed to fit in the cap head provides very little leverage. Cap should be designed with some means of getting leverage on the periphery of the cap.

I bought this gas cap to replace my gas cap and tube on my 2003 Campion Allante and it fit perfect but was difficult to install because of where it was located on the boat. This is much better quality than the original equipment one which had a plastic cap.

Perfect fit for original filler on my Carolina skiff. Sturdy,tight fitting cap. High quality product

Did some research, found the style ad size I needed then ordered from this company. Great price in comparison, received the entire part when I only needed the cap but still paid less then some other sites were charging. Everything worked out great. Attach your chain so you do not forget yours at the gas station.
