Need help! Leaking gas cans.

So the metal (and vented ) gas cans I've bought up have been a mixed bag. Some leak and some don't but the problem seems to be the gaskets. Where can I buy these to fit OR find material so I can make my own?

One can in particular is an Eagle Model 505.

Thanks!

In the past,I've used cardboard paper from a cereal box to make a gasket for gas caps.
Punch a small hole for a vent.

Re: Need help! Leaking gas cans.

Almost any industrial supply should have a selection of O rings and Quad rings and/or gasket material. WW Grainger, Johnstone Supply etc.
