Subject: Fuel Cap lost
Author: Sam	[ Next Thread \| Previous Thread \| Next Message \| Previous Message ] Date Posted: 01/ 27/ 08, 6:57am I have a 35' 1983 FC and lost the fuel cap. I called BB when I lost it and they said they no longer have the caps in stock. Anyone out there know where I could locate one? [ Next Thread \| Previous Thread \| Next Message \| Previous Message ]

I recently saw this question asked somewhere else.

One of the responses was a plumbing supply house.
They probably have a heavy brass cap that will do the job nicely.
Chances are it will not be stamped Blue Bird.

You may be able get it from one of the Blue Bird School Bus distributors also.
