Some riders had mentioned that their Cork Gaskets swell up or became mushy. Just beware to find the right material.

After about a week,my new gasket has gotten a little mushy,and swollen...if you're going to use one of these for a petrol tank cap,keep a spare in your tool box,and switch them out with every fill up...that's what I had to do this morning...

That's sad. Mine seemed ok last fillup but I will check it again when I do the final fill up before winter storage in the next few days. Thanks for the update.

Updates:
My home-made gasket from above swelled a bit .
Decided to try making another gasket with a new material.
